Air Force Lt. Col. Betsy Schoeller posted the disturbing comments on a Facebook thread where a friend shared an article about Vanessa Guillen and her tragic death. The soldier was killed after telling her friends and family about a superior who sexually harassed her. In the comment thread, Schoeller chastised other Facebook users who expressed sympathy for Guillen and her family.
She says,”You guys are kidding, right? Sexual harassment is the price of admission for women into the good ole boy club, If you’re gonna cry like a snowflake about it, you’re gonna pay the price.’”
