I can’t remember which serial killer/rapist it was that got his start raping his roommates in the military. It was absolutely heartbreaking watching one of his victims talk about how no one would believe him, and they sent him right back to bunking with his attacker.
Jeffrey Dahmer. The only two survivors are from his military days in Germany:
For Capshaw it began the day he and Dahmer, an Army medic, were put into a room together. The assaults began at once and, eventually, he leapt from the third-floor window to escape. “I had probably been raped eight to 10 times, I don’t know. He was tying me to the bunk with motor-pool rope. He took all my clothing from me. He would either beat me before he raped me or he would beat me after.” Eventually, Capshaw was taken to the dispensary for a test with what they called a rape kit to see if he was telling the truth. The doctors did nothing and he was sent back to the room. “I was there for another 17 months with Jeff being raped and tortured.” He learnt 10 years later that the rape kit and the results had simply been discarded. “They threw me to the dogs,” he says. Dahmer eventually was pushed out of the Army for alcohol abuse – with an honourable discharge.
Not NEARLY on that level but when I was in the Navy I was bullied relentlessly and even had considered suicide. I went to the ship's counselor (who was the ship's pastor as well) and tried to talk to him but he just told me that it was normal and I should get over it. I went to the ships secretary the next day and asked him how I could get out on a medical (he had sold me a fake id for 100 bucks, so I knew he'd help me work the system) and he told me if I had an addiction I would be sent to treatment and then be processed out on a medical. Like an idiot I told the ship doctor I was addicted to weed. He laughed and reminded me you can't get addicted to weed. Then he told me I was gonna get sent up for using weed and would have to report to the Master at Arms in the next few days. The guys in the berthing told me I was gonna get thrown in the brig for attempted desertion when they piss tested me and I came up clean so I took the bus home and told my brother (who sold weed at the time) the situation and he gave me a couple of joints. I got stoned and went back the next day to piss positive. Got 30 days restriction and 30 days extra duty followed by an other than honorable discharge. 20 days later I went to the ships secretary again and told him I'd give him my last check if he got me the fuck out of there. 2 days later I had my OTH discharge papers. Pulled my money out the ATM, handed it to the SS, dropped all my shit on the quarter deck and caught some guys heading north. Offered to pay the tolls if they dropped me at home in their way and never looked back. I only meant to tell you the first part cause it relates to the story but told the whole thing because I took an edible an hour ago. Addiction is a bitch.
