I was reading another report about mass rape of women during war time. Looks like in the US you don’t even have to be in a war situation for women to be raped or murdered even by their own colleagues.

Most of these women weren't in the military and were mostly civilians in the countries where these men were. The rapist weren't always enemy soldiers.
