  • May 20, 2015 - Los Angeles, CA, United States - Sandra Sherman, 51, left, had only been in the US Army for a few weeks when she was drugged and raped at a party that she attended with her female buddies from basic training. She never reported the assault to her command.  It was well known if you reported rape you would be killed or chaptered out with a less than honorable discharge. To this day if I have a male supervisor, I am apprehensive, nervous and afraid,  she says. After that, a fellow soldier raped her at her next duty station in Ft. Meade, MD.  These were supposed to be men who were my brothers. It is a silent stigma that if you go into the military and you’re female, that you expect to be raped. You’re just expected to go on and do your job,” she added. After seven years she got out of the Army.  I didn’t realize how traumati - ZUMAcv4_
