   It’s terrible. And then when they get back home, female veterans are 2 to 4 times more likely than non-veteran women to experience homelessness.

   Seems like a bad deal to me.

   Yet another reason why women, and everyone else, should not join the military. I read that the same statistic – 1 in 7 – is the same ratio of voters still “undecided” in this election. Any correlation?

   This is horrible news. However, I wanted to bring something else up in the story. I know I’m taking this out of context, but I’m a little concerned with the quote…

   “They’re out there, they’re away from their families, they’re away from their girlfriends, you know, their wives,” she said. “They see an opportunity.”

   As if rape or sexual assault is a crime of opportunity and convenience and nothing else.
