Military SEXploitation

Book excerpt: hen Julia Ferguson enlisted in the U.S. Army during the Cold War, little did she know that the price of her enlistment would include sexual exploitation from the Army recruiter himself—followed by several high-ranking non-commissioned officers who would take sexual advantage of her and other young newly enlisted women over a two-year period. Julia then discovers the ultimate survivor in herself, testifying against her abusers and surviving reverse discrimination, sexual exploitation, and rape. Despite the post-traumatic stress she experienced after her honorable discharge from the Army, Julia finds that the effects of her abuse have led her to personal and professional growth and development over the years, and her story is, ultimately, one of triumph.
