1 in 2 rape victims in combat zones have been discharged because of the rape they suffered. This is an atrocity that must be addressed. Victims of Military Sexual Trauma that have been deployed and then raped suffer connection issues, problems in obtaining work, and lack of healthcare by the Department of Veterans Affairs because their service is less than 24 months. We are forced to live with medical conditions that are not being treated because the rape is denied by the perspective service. We come back from war with no help that we need to recover. Many of us are injured before our attacks and then thrown away after we are raped. We ask this practice to stop, and that we are vindicated on every level as we should be. Thank you.
