Women in the Military More Likely to Be Traumatized by Sexual Assault Than Combat

RE: Women in the Military More Likely to Be Traumatized by Sexual Assault Than Combat
This actually doesn't suprise me, but that's mostly because current military policy is to keep women out of combat. It would be interesting to see what the stats are overall, without regard to gender or it would be interesting to compare the rates of women traumatized by sexual abuse compared to men traumatized by combat.

That's not to try to defend any of the sexual abuse that's happening, though. Honestly, if the military is set up in such a way that sexual abuse is allowed to happen and the CO's are more worried about their reputation than they are with protecting the people under them, especially protecting them from predators within their own, there needs to be some kind of serious overhaul of the oversight process to the military.
