My heroes are those who can stand arguing with freepers:

112 military women have reported sexual assaults or rapes in the Persian Gulf in 18 montha. That is out of more than 60,000 women who are stationed in and around the Gulf with the military.

Compare those numbers to a study released just last week by Harvard that stated “almost one in 20 (4.7 percent) of women reported being raped, and 72 percent of the victims reported being intoxicated while being raped.” So, about 5% of our college women are being raped, not including those who were sexually assaulted, which would make the percentage even higher.

If you apply the 5% number to the 60,000 women stationed in the Gulf, we should be seeing 3,000 reported rapes. But we have only seen 112 according to the New York Times. In other words, our military women are far more safe from sexual assault and rape than our college women. And, by deduction, our military men are far more mature, professional and respectful of women than our college men. But then, we already knew that. Just don’t count on the Times or any other newspaper to report the comparison.
