Invisible War: Rape In The US MilitaryEpisode of August 12, 2014

Casualties of war rage beyond the battlefield. As the ranks of women in the American military swell, so do incidents of rape. An estimated 30 per cent of servicewomen and at least one per cent of servicemen are sexually assaulted during their enlistment - not by the enemy, but at the hands of fellow soldiers. With escalating revelations, this program exposes a rape epidemic in the armed forces, investigating the institutions that perpetuate it as well as its profound personal and social consequences.
