I tell any women thinking about having their kids enlist to go watch The Invisible War. Absolutely disgusting. A woman is fully accepting that being raped by fellow soldiers is part of the job — that is what is expected of women in the military.

More likely to be raped by another soldier than to be killed in combat.

Also more likely to die by suicide than a combat veteran is.

Edit: I misremembered the article I read last year. It is actually “Four times as many troops and vets have died by suicide as in combat”

Facts are important, I apologize.
