- Since 2006, more than 95,000 service members have been sexually assaulted in the U.S. military
- More than 86% of service members do not report their assault
- Less than five percent of all sexual assaults are put forward for prosecution, and less than a third of those cases result in imprisonment
I hate that I can attest to accuracy of this post. I never reported my assailants. I had a friend who did. She got looked down upon, name called, moved to a crappy shift and generally treated like trash from a good number of people in our command, including some superiors. The male who molested her got a “talking” to, a slap on his wrist and then essentially promoted. And that was on shore. I can’t even begin to tell you what happened while we were on the ship. It’s just unbelievably horrifying.
Reblog. This is real. This is horrible, beyond belief. I am without words.

This movie is on Netflix.
You have no reason not to watch it.
Important. Rape is NOT an ‘occupational hazard’.
I’m kind of curious. Should a female or male in the services shoot their rapist, could they not also get away with it?...
