Ummm, yeah. The point of the thread is the likelihood of rape trauma being greater than combat trauma, which is only true for women. However, if you read the conversation that followed, you would see me mention men numerous times.
There are plenty of instances where you have that many guys and rape is not "expected." That is because they have a reasonable expectation of getting caught and punished. The odds are against that in the military.
