Sexual Harassment Rife in UKs Armed Forces

story | Guardian by way of TruthOut

~It's odd considering the control the military has over a soldier's life. They can tell you where to go, when to eat, sleep and poop but they can't stop their men from harassing their women?

~Images of women in the military are not interchangable with images of men in the military.

Do you think "sometimes it takes courage to survive" would work in a military recruitment ad for men or today's women?
