I have a buddy who went to school for physics and math. Got two Bachelor degrees. Joined the Peace Corps and spent his full tour in Malawi. Malawi really sucks. Then he got a job at a national lab, running the country's largest particle accelerator. While he was there he got interested in triathlons; I trained him for the cycling portion (he finished in the upper quarter of his age group at Lake Placid). Then he started taking classes again. Went to med school. (I bought him a full-sized plastic skeleton for his going away present.) Paid for two years of med school from money he saved at work. Joined ROTC and became an Army doc about a year before 9-11. Spent several years sewing up soldiers and children in Iraq. Did the full ROTC obligation. Now Back safe in the USA, doing his internship at a major Chicago area hospital. He's a very very nice guy, but I wouldn't call him a lib, and I sure wouldn't say that he thinks the world owes him a living. |

A very conservative friend of mine served in the Peace Corps in the 1970's. He helped a ton of people out and never regrets his time spent.
The problem I have, however, is that everything, and I mean everything, should be cut to the bone in order to preserve funds for the military and border protection. Everything else is fluff that we seriously can't afford as a nation now, including the Peace Corps. Of course, this all falls on deaf ears........................................................ Feel sorry for the girl and her family. Rest in peace.

The Peace Corps is a Cold War relic, designed to wean away the hearts and minds of the supposedly clueless Thrird World from the embracing arms of Soviet Communism. We won. It's over. We don't need it anymore. Anybody who can do good with it can also do just as well as a private individual or working for NGOs.

It's a shame that no one was able to talk her out of joining that bullshit.
A few years ago there where 3 young girls passing out fliers around town. I happened to look at the flier and they were trying to raise money so they could go biking through Kenya passing out literature of some sort. Mind you this was right around the time that the global media was reporting mass genocide in Kenya. Anyway I caught up to them and explained that they slaughter their own people for no reason what so ever down there and that three pretty white girls would be raped and tortured until dead. I asked them to do a little more research on the area before they decide to go through with the mistake. Don't know if they ever went or not but the fliers were all gone the next day. Most people just don't understand how fuct up the world really is. |

Its not just the peace corp that you can make this assumption about, a sister of a friend went to Africa a couple years ago as a missionary, she was given a "rape briefing" before she left. The graphic nature and detail of it left no doubt that it was a common occurrence. Fortunately she was not the victim of a rape while she was there but she was there only six months and refused to go back, was sent to India instead. I dont care if it is the peace corp or a religious organization, sending a 18-30 year old women to a utter shithole with no way to defend themselves is insanity.
If you are a female and join the Peace Corps, its pretty much assumed you will be assaulted. It's a Democrat organization - Founded in "1961 by President John F. Kennedy". Peace Corps Volunteers Speak Out on Rapes http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/11/us/11corps.html?pagewanted=all from 2000 to 2009, on average, 22 Peace Corps women each year reported being the victims of rape or attempted rape, the agency says.

They should have shitcanned their idealisim and taught their daughter about the world she was going into. It's brutal ugly violent and dark. Yep - nasty, brutish and short. I wouldn't exactly say "the stupid cunt got what she deserved". Being a cunt had nothing to do with it. 
Seriously, I do think their idealism blinds them to the realities of the world. |

Peace Corps Volunteer Gets Her Throat Slit When She Blows Whistle on Child-Abusing Employee Very sad. This agency is truly a waste of time and of naive, trusting young women whose idealism trumps their street smarts. I work for the fed.gov and we cringe when we see the words "Peace Corps" on a resume. It means, usually, that the candidate is a moonbat liberal who thinks the world owes her a living. Just abolish the damned agency and give the money back. A tremendous waste that could be better handled by private individuals and agencies. I don't care about the Peace Corps one way or the other, and I suspect that the people who are drawn to it are, as you say, naive and deficient in reality contact, but I also suspect that they are the kind who feels they owe something to the world rather than the other way around. Oh, and in before The-Stupid-Liberal-Cunt-Got-What-She-Deserved crowd. Jane I've personally met 2 former Peace Corps volunteers in my lifetime. BOTH of them has massively inflated self-importance complexes - they were simply better than everyone else. YMMV. CMOS So? His anecdote trumps your suspicion. His epic failure at inductive reasoning doesn't trump shit. |

libtard or not, she was a human being doing a moral obligation to report abuse of those who could not OR don't realize they do not have to endure.
i will also add, she was doing something of her life (i will add of a positive nature) verses someone sitting on a computer and offering an armchair opinion (insert Man in the Arena) seems to me, peace corps needs to have an investigation, to also include restricting funding to ensure full cooperation, until a full and final review of circumstances are released (to also include how peace corps handles the processes for all the other abuses us citizens abroad have incurred - up to 22 a year). |

Wow... so working for a multi-billion dollar company that builds hospitals and needs my work to get the job done is not "doing something with my life"....as well as raising my daughter to be ethical and honorable.... And that same company that I work for donates large sums of money and time DIRECTLY to local charities that help the poor, sick and dying right here in Georgia... And I help with those efforts too... So I need to go help a bunch of uncivilized animals to actually "do something with my life" I will just say go <COC Violation> yourself. |

Most people just don't understand how fuct up the world really is. Well, that's one of those things. In my world, there three types of people on the good side. There are those who don't know about how bad the world is, there are those who are forceably introduced to it and want to return to that state before, and then there are people like me (intel, police) that swell here. Mind you, of course, there are those on the fringes who might be blends, such as the people who think they know, think they are dwellers, and are not really. I'm not sure that people should be forced to know how bad the world can be. Sure, there may be lots of advantages to knowing it, and some disadvantages as well. A whole nation of hardened, somewhat insensitive, cynical loners like me is probably not necessarily a good thing. Besides, if in anything else, a world full of people like me would make it tougher for me to do some of the jobs I do because they would have hardened defenses for me to try to get through when I have to use some of my psychology tactics. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ("You see my friend, in this world, there are two kinds of people, those who come in through the door and those who come in through the window."––The Ugly, (w,stte), "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly) |

Now just as an aside, not to piss anyone off or anything, does anybody know anyone, who has joind the peace corps, or any like organization, that has had any LASTING effect?
I mean does it work? I would be surprised, but I am small townish, and it makes me so sad to see these good hearted people get raped, murdered and what not trying to help the underprivileged folks in these shit holes that can't seem to learn that when they keep pro-creating kids that they can't feed their situation will never get better. But let's keep the free handouts going on, while our country gets closer to becoming just like them. |

Sad and stupid.
After reading some of the related stories on that page, they should rename the Peace Corps the Rape Corps.

No one should have to suffer like these women after an event like that. Sounds like the Peace Corps management needs some weeding and the orientation a dose of reality.
Further, the countries and especially the local officials need to be held accountable. I'm not sure how much leverage the Peace Corps might have, other than monetary and project cancellation, but they need to step up and stop blaming the victims and sweeping the problems under the rug. Perhaps the military could "loan" a few spec ops operators to occasionally accompany the ladies and other volunteers and once in a while pay a night time "visit" to one or two people who need some "training". Or maybe they need their own reaction group to attend to these "problems". First action should be some much needed counseling for the victims and I don't mean a meeting with a manager to discuss what the person had done that was "wrong". |
