The author of this gripping personal account thanked our readers in a comment to his story:
Thank you for all your kind words. I am the author of the article and i really would like to extend my deepest thanks. When I was sixteen I was kicked out of my home. I had just turned seventeen by the time CYS(children and youth services) had taken me into there system. I was too old for a foster home so I was sent to a group home.
A group home is usually private owned and payed for by the state. I ran into the, "usual" in that system. The kids who had anger issues, foster kids with problems, and kids like myself who their parents had kicked to the curb. I was assigned a counselor who did help me quite a bit but didn't fix the problem completely.
My problem was I was smart and fat, which means i was a complete loser in high school. The only thing that can make you feel like I did is the movie, "white oleander." I was fat and a big guy which means I got picked on in High School. This of course didnt translate well to homelife and after a fight with my brother;in which my mom had to choose him or me. She chose my little brother.
After getting out of the system when I turned 18 (by choice u can choose to stay until 21) I had to live somewhere. My mom wouldn't allow me to live with her so I lived with my grandparents(matriarchial). I got a job at a telemarketing company which closed its doors and then with Mcdonalds. You have to understand all of this was while I should have been going to prom etc.
While at my job with Mcdonalds I walked into a local boxing gym. Within a year I had dropped 80 pounds to 210. My grandfather who i loved dearly was an army veteran a retired master sergeant. I walked into a army recruiting office and in almost a month I was off to basic training.
After basic training I was assigned to germany. It was awesome the clubs closed at 5am and for a 19 year old who can now drink it was the time of my life. I was considered a, "PT stud"(means I can run real fast and do alot of pushups and situps without resting) so life at work was going great. We were going to Irag in 3 months so everyone was partying harder than ususal.
I did my tour in Iraq and I won't explain my experience here. I was a combat engineer which means I was route clearance and cache search. That means we drive ahead of everyone and look for IEDS(improvised explosive device) or we look for hidden weapons or bombs etc. When we got back it was awesome.
Fast forwarding, I had just done my second tour. I was stop-lossed and now I got to go on leave for a MONTH, A MONTH!!!! I didn't even know what all to do, off for a month all that money I saved from two deployments I could go anywhere. Not only that but I would be payed for the month too.
I figured hey go out with my best friend %%%%%% for a couple of days then take a flight to wherever. Then the absolute impossible happened, something that the feminist group who came to my group home said never happened. I got accused of raping a woman.
Fast forwarding again, I have sought help for myself. I don't drink anymore unless its a social situation. If it is I leave the drinking at the bar. I still don't trust women, if it can happen once it can again. However I got better, this was in January (that I got better).
My rage when I wrote this is almost gone.
Thanks again for reading my story.

Tough to be the brunt of ridicule during impressionalble years, but you bounced back, and you will bounce back again. Time is on your side. I have a general question *** how much time off do they give you after basic training and after advanced training *** before you're assigned somewhere?
I am so glad you are doing better. Keep on winning!!!

Glad you kicked the bottle, that would have killed you.
Keep grinding away at it, eventually you'll win, simply because she never intended on signing up for something that takes as long as it takes and ain't done till its done.
Stay alert, stay sharp, stay free.
Bro, scott here, Don't let the bottle take ya dud, I've been there myself.
I also don't trust women anymore, but again my anger is not so much at the pig that falsely accused me, it is at the law enforcement who refused to clear my name by formally charging her.
And i will agree with AFOR, stay alert, stay sharp, and stay free. And stick around here with us to share yer story with others, and to fight against the perversion that has consumed our legal system.
Scott.
Good to read that things are better for you, at least for now.
Keep your head down and watch your back.
OT, but I want to raise this point anyway, since we are living in a culture in which you can get arrested, convicted and imprisoned on NOTHING MORE than the word of one other person.
In process control technology, which can be anything from military battle tank training simulators to toyota engineers trying to recreate the runaway accelleration, to anything else involving men and machines....
It is an ACCEPTED FACT that the users / operators will SWEAR BLIND that they did X, when in fact they did Y, or did nothing.
This, NOTE WELL, is when the users / operators in question are TRYING to tell the truth.
The oft quoted "don't talk to the police" video is a classic example, raise your hands everyone who things the three dead people were shot.
The other thing to look at is "cognitive dissonance" or the Ben Franklin Effect.
Sure, this doesn't apply to women who deliberately make a false accusation, they KNOW they are lying.
But it does apply to the people they report the lie to, and those who repeat it, publish it, prosecute it, etc.
Which brings us back to the unique situation we find ourselves in where an alleged rape is the only crime that does not require proof, evidence, or investigation, prior to arrest.
To be sure, ex-parte injunctions are also abused (I should know) by the very same kind of people, but however awful the terms of these injunctions may be, they do not result in your immediate arrest, or publication of your mugshot.
I'm glad things are looking up for you. I hope they continue on their upward trend, too.
Yeah bro never trust 'em, they're all pigs. Keep yer head up.
Any man can be the victim of a false accusation at any time, and our system rarely holds those responsible accountable. Good luck to you, sir.
