Military Culture and Sexual Assault

The purpose of this issue, “Military Culture and Sexual Assault” is to affirm that sexual assault complexities are ills of our society whether we abide in a military culture or civilian communities. This issue is not intended to point a finger at the military, but to create dialogue about the layers of complexities of sexual assault in a military culture that some of our heroes and “sheroes” have experienced. This issue also lends ear to hear the military’s response to the issue of sexual assault within its ranks.
