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
Well, it is a serious enough problem that the army conduct very public classes on personal safety (Read: rape prevention) for female soldiers, as well as classes that tell male soldiers that they shouldn't commit rape. This may well be lip-service because of the media surrounding how prevalent rape is in the military, but the fact that these classes are held so regularly speaks volumes.

While my girl was deployed, there were more than a few occasions that she called me on Skype because some asshole was trying to get into her room. She hasn't just had bad experiences on deployment, there was another occasion where a friend of her roommate tried it on, and became aggressive when she asked him to leave. He was saying she thought she was better than other girls on the base, and that they all give it up eventually. She had to report him to a senior officer, but as his dad was also a senior officer he only got a slap on the wrist. He shouldn't have been in the room in the first place, but he definitely shouldn't have came to her section of the room uninvited.
