The Lonely Soldier, Helen Benedict, April 2009, cloth, $25.95, 978-0-8070-6147-3
The Huffington Post; Helen Benedict has responded to the pentagon’s reports about sexual assault in the military:
“The only accurate way to measure military sexual assault is to rely on veterans who are no longer afraid to report it, and those studies indicate no good news at all. Nearly a third of military women are raped, some 71 percent are sexually assaulted, and 90 percent are sexually harassed. Men, too, are assaulted in alarming numbers. Recent VA statistics show that 59,345 men have reported sexual abuse in the service.”
