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.

One percent of men in the military have been raped. All of these stats are available from the DoD and other organizations.

Oh, no, that's now what I'm mentioning. I'm not at all surprised a lot more women are raped than men in the military. Other than in prison, it's pretty much routine that women are raped more than men everywhere. But it's still a bit of a misleading statistic, mostly because women are specifically excluded from combat. I mean, it would be damn easy for me to claim that zero percent of women are traumatized by combat because zero percent of women in the military are allowed into combat (which is something else the military needs to change, btw).
