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

I know there are some positions that a woman cannot feasibly hold. However, some combat situations are fine for women, as the things that keep them from being in the field for days at a time or longer are not a problem. Rape is one of the reasons that does not happen. Weird fact. To be honest, I would rather keep women out of the military than see them get raped, but men are raped too, so the only thing to do for it is have real repercussions and much more than just "rape prevention."

Exactly. That is why I suspect that those classes are nothing more than lip-service, to give the impression that at least something is being done. They also have the buddy system, which again, is another form of rape prevention that places the responsibility of preventing an attack on the potential victim.

The cynic in me says that the real reason more isn't done is because rape is a dirty word, and the public (in the U.K. and U.S. at least) are led to believe that soldiers are defenders of justice and democracy, incapable of such an atrocious act.
