Being raped by fellow soldiers shouldn't one of the risks of joining the military.
While this is very true as far as I know women in the US military don't experience a higher risk of being raped than those who aren't. With the possible exception of POWs. Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on that first point. The problem with rape in the US military isn't increased risk of rape. It is the way upper echelons deal with it. Or refuse to deal with it depending on your perspective.
