"With more women serving in combat zones, the current wars are already resulting in a higher share of homeless women as well. They have an added risk factor: roughly 40 percent of the hundreds of homeless female veterans of recent wars have said they were sexually assaulted by American soldiers while in the military, officials said."
Many homeless women in general have been sexually assaulted. Rape does something to a person's mind that people don't want to talk about. Blaming the victim is so much easier on the stomach I guess.
