The Invisible War

This past week I attended a showing the documentary "The Invisible War" at UNC Chapel Hill. It was both shocking and heartbreaking. The documentary portrayed the problem of rape in the military and the repercussions it has had on the lives of the victims. The film showed that most perpetrators of rape in the military are not convicted or punished in any way. I have the utmost respect for our men and women who serve in the military, but I am disgusted that these crimes are going unpunished. No one should get away with committing such heinous, criminal acts, even if they are serving in our military. The documentary will hopefully shed light on this problem and aid in getting laws changed that will make it easier for victims to report crimes and not fear being punished themselves.
