Women In The Army Face Threats From Both Sides

You would think that it would be hard enough to be a soldier in a war zone who has to worry about the enemy striking but if you are a woman in the military you also have to worry about your fellow male soldiers and what they might do as well. Deparmant of Defense Statistics indicate that in the military currently 1 out of every 3 women has either been the victim of a rape or attempted rape or some other kind of assault by a fellow male soldier. 2 out of 3 have reported receiving unwanted or uninvited sexual behavior while in the military. In one recent year D.O.D. figures indicated that 9% of the women serving in the marines had been raped, 8% of the women in the army, 6% in the navy, and 4% in the air Force.
If you are a female victim of such an assault it may not be worth reporting it either according to the stats. In one recent year figures indicated that 95% of the men who were accused of rape in the military were found not guilty.
