Independent Lense also just had a documentary on it last night on PBS

...and of course some assholes here attacked me for saying that over 25% of women in the military get raped.

I thought I knew something about rape in the military -- turns out I knew much less than I thought.

This was a very moving, heartbreaking film and I urge everyone to see it.

I don't doubt that 25 percent of women in the military get raped, in fact I'd bet it's higher than that.

This film angered me so much that I decided to give all the money I usually give to

different veterans groups and give it ALL to Service Women's Action Network, or "SWAN".
