POPE AIR FORCE BASE, N.C. -- In the early-morning hours of May 13, 2006, after a night of partying with fellow airmen who were mixing a potent cocktail called the Incredible Hulk, Airman 1st Class Cassandra Hernandez told authorities that three of them had raped her.
One of the men was charged. After being questioned twice by the airman's military lawyer, Hernandez said, she felt "enormous stress" and decided not to testify.

Military file charges AGAINST rape victim? My mouth is still agape. I have followed, for years, the sexual predatory and intimidating environment at the Air Force academy, surrounding towns, Congressional testimony, firings of commanders, and charges of cover-up by Air Force leadership.
As a child, I grew up reading Superman comics, the words that best express what I am thinking right now is, “bizarro world”. When I recover, I may have more to say.
