Thank you liberals, and your social experiments!

Far more military men are being raped by other men than is reported by the Pentagon because of the stigma attached to such sexual assaults, says a new study by the American Psychological Association.

“Rates of military sexual trauma among men who served in the military may be as much as 15 times higher than has been previously reported, largely because of barriers associated with stigma, beliefs in myths about male rape, and feelings of helplessness,” the APS said in releasing its findings Tuesday.

The Defense Department issues a biannual report on sexual assaults. Based on Internet emailed surveys it found that more men than women, in pure numbers, are sexually assault victims. Women make up about 14.5 percent of the 1.4 million active force.

“We know that there is under reporting among men and women and hope that this special issue will help to bring awareness and treatment for those that serve and protect us,” said the issue’s co-editor, Michi Fu, a clinical practitioner. “I personally wanted to pull together scholarship after hearing of reports of military sexual trauma being so much more prevalent than in the general population.”

Researchers said that even though the Pentagon survey, done most recently by the Rand Corps, is anonymous, men still are reluctant to disclose they were raped. The APS came to this conclusion by surveying a random group of 180 combat veterans, which led them to believe that the sexual assault rate is 15 times higher.

The rapes come at a cost to the men and the nation according to another survey of 2,042 veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

“Male veterans who reported being sexually assaulted while serving their country suffered more severe symptoms of PTSD and depression, had higher rates of suicidal thoughts and were more likely to enroll in outpatient mental health treatment than those who were not assaulted,” the researchers found.

In 2013, the Pentagon reported that for one ear, 26,000 service members were the victims of sexual assaults, 14,000 of them men.

If the APA findings are based on one year, then the true number for military men is 210,000 sexual assaults per year.

Actually, this report never identified the sexual assault on men in the military as being solely homosexual in nature. Further it makes no callout as to the orientation of either the perpetrators or the victims of assaults. Most people find it impossible to imagine that a man can be sexually assaulted by a woman, but it does happen. And in society outside the military men perceived to be gay are often raped by self-identified heterosexual men as a form of violence.

Most importantly this report made no claims at all that assault had increased due to accepting either more women or L***Q people into the military. I think the title of your post is both misleading and inflammatory as it insinuates the mistaken notion that gay men are sexual predators.

Having your barracks fantasies again? Maybe if you lie about your age you can re-up

Ve'hoe

Ahh,,,, I knew you would turn up,,,,, speaking of anal anything,,,,,

Ve'hoe

I dont believe it,,,, you would get k**led,,,,,, for homosexual rape,,,, and having been in the Marines,,,,, and seen what kind of female hangs around barracks,,,,, I don think "rape" is the word..... definitely where the female aggressor is concerned,,, all she has to do,, is not say "NO"
and the deal is done....

DJRich Loc: Western Pa

And you, limp azz cheesestick, you can re-up too. But then you could pass the minimum physical OR mental requirements.
So just keep spewing conservatard crap, and give the rest of us a good and hearty laugh.

no propaganda please Loc: moon orbiting the third rock from the sun

I found a couple of other articles on this problem, plus an article about the homosexual and d**g q***ns in the military having a party on a military base, celebrating their sexual behavior. Thought they might be of interest.

Rape is not about sex. Rape is about power.
You don't actually believe that the rapists in prison are all gay, do you?
It is about asserting control over others, similar to the nastiness you and your sort spew here.

Ve'hoe

Read your quote,,, misspellings and all,,,, apparently you never HAD the physical or mental capacities,,,, yeah,, I could still pass them,,, and still command,,, fat dumb doughballs,,, like you.... but after 30 years,, what I lack now,,, is what you NEVER had,,,, as a spineless invertebrate!!


HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHHHHHHHHAAAA

Ve'hoe

Then why do you spew your nastiness????

Seems you are wanting to be raped,, by your definition,, as stupid as it is.....

jelun

You stupid pig, I have been raped.
You think giving back what you and your pallies spew make me deserving of being raped?
That your mind would even take you there says so much about your rage. Get some help.

Ve'hoe

Then you need help,,, because you treat everyone as though they had raped you,,,, and we havent,,,,,,

That doesnt excuse your r****t statements about my people....

jelun

I doubt that you own people.
I am just fine, thanks. I just don't abide selfish pigs well.
Stop playing the race card, wimp.

Ve'hoe

I didnt say "I own" people, that is a l*****t imperialist white ideology,,, like "owning the land"

Come back when you gain some reading comprehension,,, or jump back on the rape wheel,,,,
