Service Women Being Raped in Iraq on the climb and the US Military has virtually done nothing for them.
Quote:
The Post reported Last month that at least 37 female service members had sought counseling for sexual trauma and other assistance from civilian rape crisis organizations after returning from duty in Iraq, Kuwait and other overseas stations.
The women, ranging from enlisted soldiers to officers, reported poor medical treatment, lack of counseling and incomplete criminal investigations; some said they were threatened with punishment after reporting assaults.

This is absolutely unacceptable behavior and it angers me to no end!
I want to post more about how angry I am over this, but I need to calm down first. The Military mind set on this subject is unquestionably the worst abuse of authority and professionalism in some time.
