...The view of women as sexual prey has always been present in military culture. Indeed, civilian women have been seen as sexual booty for conquering soldiers since the beginning of human history. So, it should come as no surprise that the sexual persecution of female soldiers has been going on in the armed forces for decades....
I worked on a base for a couple years, when I was young, relatively naive, and cute, but by no means beautiful. The sexual harrassment was constant and came from civilians and all ranks of military personnel, male and female, young and old. It was surprising to me since I had to wear the ugliest, most unflattering uniforms on the planet. It got old.
