What Are The Signs of Military Sexual Trauma (MST)?

"An extremely difficult subject to talk about is the degree of sexual trauma in the military (MST). The most recent data from the U. S. Department of Veteran’s Affairs suggests that about 1 in 10 men suffer MST. For enlisted women, the ratio is doubled, or about 1 in 5.
