More On The Real Costs Of War

Although sexual trauma does happen to men, by far its women who suffer the most in the military.

We've seen reports on this in the past. We have heard some of the stories coming out of Iraq and from bases.

Women have it rough in the military and we need to consider that this study suggests 15% of all men and women. So if you needed to make the number or percentage smaller, you would include both sexes right. Truth is if you just include women, the percentage is said to be in the vicinity of 30% of all military women are sexually assaulted. So three in every ten women in the military face sexual assault. This is very bad.

Most veterans who were affected were women, with more than one in seven women seeking health care services of some sort also reporting sexual trauma. Just under 1 percent of male veterans also reported military sexual trauma.
