1 in 3 FEMALE american soldiers are raped!!

Sexual assault =/= rape.

Sex attacks are common in the army but there its just brushed off and these women hardly ever get justice.

Edit: Why do women even agree to join the army?

1 in 3 women. There aren't as many women as men in the army, already reducing this statistic to a smaller scale. I doubt they've asked every woman in the US army whether they've been raped or not, and found this figure to be near to or exactly one third.

Maybe 1 in 3 women who were asked, and were only asked because the askers thought they would have been raped due to individual circumstances, have been, and the rest (the overwhelming majority which is probably 90%+ who have not been asked) have not been raped. The sample size is not big enough to warrant a massive outcry.

You pulled all of that out of the air. Why did you bother?

Where in the op was it said that the issue was with 'sexual assault', as opposed to rape? Also in the video, all the women they interviewed spoke about how they were raped, not sexually assaulted.

Oh and, sexual assault, that's ok then. Carry on.

Why have you said this?-this is prejudiced against women,who can shoot a gun just as well as men and may possibly have more strategy than men because they are more clever than men.Women shouldn't stop going to the army,just because they might be raped?and they should be stronger than that because nothing should stop you,frtom getting the career you want.

If 30 women in the army are asked whether they have been raped, due to individual circumstances which have been observed by the askers, that make their rape more likely such as male bullying, and 10 of them say yes, then yes 1 in 3 of those women have been raped.

Take all of the women of the US army and ask them whether they have been raped, the statistic is going to be much lower. Perhaps only those 30 from before have been raped, making it 30 out of x-thousand. Or it could be 100 out of x-thousand, not making 1 in 3.

Definitively ask every women in the US army whether they have been raped, and if 1 in 3 of them say yes, then I'm wrong. There's no way that this is representative of every woman in the US army; it's obvious not even 1% have been asked. Get some understanding.

Look.. there are certain jobs that women just shouldn't do. Its common sense its unsafe!!

Well what about those that do not report being sexually assaulted/raped.

It's not the numbers that are the issue, it's the fact that rape/sexual assault is occurring in a supposedly well-organised/disciplined army.

However, If female soldiers are at risk - however large or small, it still is an apparent risk - then how can these same soldiers be trusted to perform well and in a modest manner in foreign countries.

Reports of sexual assault/rape have been occuring for years in the US Military.
