The Invisible War

I had the privilege of being invited to view this film with a friend of mine who is a female veteran. This film was played on campus by the University of Northern Iowa's Veteran's Association.  It is a must see. I was not sure what it was going into it, but by the end I was in tears. It is a documentary film about rape of soldiers in the military. This film was made to make things that normally would be hidden available for the world to hear.

• One out of every five female service members is sexually assaulted or raped during her honorable service
• It is estimated that more then half a million service men and women have been sexually assaulted since WWII
• Military sexual trauma is the leading cause of  PTSD among women veterans

Here is a video clip. If you have not seen it, I recommend it, but bring tissues.
