Our friend "Slice" always shuts down "his" threads when they do not go the way he wants them to.

Here are the FACTS about rape, sexual assault and harassment in the U.S. Armed Forces.

27% of men have experienced military sexual trauma
60% of women have experienced military sexual trauma
3.5% of men have experienced military sexual assault
23% of women have experienced military sexual assault
11% of women have experienced rape
1.2% of men have experienced rape
Service branch with the highest percentage of women reporting sexual trauma: Marine Corps
20% of women seeking care at VA facilities have experienced sexual trauma
1% of men seeking care at VA facilities have experienced sexual trauma
8.3 percentage of women report lifetime PTSD related to MST
More than half of the incidents took place at a military work site and during duty hours
The majority of the offenders in these cases were military personnel
Factors that increase risk of sexual assault for active duty females include presence of officers who condone or allow sexual harassment and unwanted sexual attention
Sources:

Department of Defense: 2006 Annual Report on Military Services Sexual Assault [pdf]

Department of Veterans Affairs, "Military Sexual Trauma Among The Reserve Components Of The Armed Forces"

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, 2003. "Factors associated with women's risk of rape in the military environment." Sadler, Anne, et al.

Please notice that rape occurs 10 times more in women than in men. Following Bill's line of thinking, our daughters are far more at risk than our sons. ANY sexual assault is criminal and should be dealt with accordingly. Male, female, black, white, gay or straight the same rules apply to everyone.

This is another example of Bill trying to find enemies among American soldiers who live and die for this nation. That is very similar to Fred Phelps and his views.

*Notice we now have 2 threads on the same subject again!
