PTSD and Military Women.

[poedaughter7]

The United States government spends multi-million dollars advertising the military as a "great way to get school money" for women, and they will be treated well in service. Yet many studies say as many as 1 in 3 women in the military have been raped. "A 2004 study of women veterans from Vietnam and all wars since, who were seeking help for post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), found that 71% said they were sexually assaulted or raped while serving. The VA study (referenced in the title above) was funded by the Army Medical Research Department and found that 30% of women veterans said they were raped while serving. That is almost one in three." - http://www.arlingtonwestsantamonica.org/MST.html
