Integrity

Folder: 
New Me

I was once told because I turned in my perpetrator who was also female and a cop. That I had no integrity. Almost 30 years later I still see words of traitor on my barracks door. Buddy f**"ker. Ni**er. Yet I'm the one who supposedly gave  up my integrity. 

What about the ones who wrote that stuff on my door?

What about the chain of command that allowed the assaults and abuse to happen?

What about the boyfriend who I trusted who when I told that happened said that would never happen in the Army?

Integrity...

Integrity...

At least almost 30 years later my current boyfriend actually believes me.

And that is why those person were unwilling to acknowledge yours, or admit their lackings. All the best to you. I hope time has brought you some peace, at the least, in knowing you stood up for what was right.
