You are much more likely to get raped in the military than in civilian life. More than 20% of women in the military get raped ...and who can account for those that don't even report it. Yea men are victims too but not even close to how many women are victims of this horrible crime. It is especially horrible because you trust your fellow soldiers to have your back ...when your back is not what they want.
