Sexual Assaults in the Military Are Epidemic

According to the Pentagon. The military recorded 3,374 sexual assault reports last year. Nearly 26,000 active-duty men and women responded to a sexual assault survey. Of those, 6.1 percent of women and 1.2 percent of men said they had experienced sexual assault in the past year.  From those percentages, the Pentagon extrapolated that 12,100 of the 203,000 women on active duty and 13,900 of the 1.2 million men on active duty had experienced some form of sexual assault.

As more and more women enter the military and go into combat-related roles, look for these numbers to increase. Do I even need to say it? If you are a man or a woman with any sense of morality: STAY OUT OF THE MILITARY.
