It takes courage for a woman to leave home at a young age
and join the military to serve her country.
It takes courage to try and change
one’s life without resources or family support.
Every year thousands of young women who cannot afford college engage
their courage and decide the military is one of the best ways to transform their
lives. They board a bus and travel to
cities far from home just to be apart of something larger than them. They seek to become better people. Leaving home to serve your county is an act
that should be admired and applauded because these women made a decision to try
and make a difference with their lives.
Yet imagine how these women feel once they have engaged the military and
they find out that their contribution to the corp. is not met with respect but
met with distain. Imagine how a young
woman feels after she is raped and humiliated over and over again by either her
superior or a fellow soldier. Just
imagine!
