41% of women reported being raped while in military
http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/07/31/mil...use/index.html
Read the article and look at the percent of accused that are court-martialed. Shameful and disgusting. Tailhook, Air Force Academy, etc. Remember that. |

Obviously there appears to be a serious problem, but get the stats in the article right, Mike.
41% of women seen at a Veterans Affairs hospital in the Los Angeles area reported being sexually assaulted 29% reported the assault as being rape There are no statistics in the article given for military-wide rape/assault.

Given the military mortality rate in Iraq, this means our women who are serving there have a greater chance of being raped by one of their own, than being killed by the enemy.
