US female soldiers say they are more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than getting killed by enemy fire.美國女兵說，她們更可能被一名士兵強姦，多過被敵方炮火打死。
The number of US female soldiers sexually assaulted by their male counterparts and superiors in Iraq and Afghanistan has jumped by 25%, official US data shows.
在伊拉克和阿富汗美國女兵被男性和上級性侵犯已上升25％，美國官方數據顯示。
According to the latest Pentagon figures over 3,700 women were sexually assaulted in year 2009, which is close to a third of US female veteran population.
根據五角大樓最新的數字，在2009年超過 3,700名婦女被性侵犯，這是接近三分之一的美國女性後備軍人的人口。
This is while the Pentagon estimates that 80 to 90 percent of rapes don't get reported for fear of retaliation.
這雖然是五角大樓的估計，但80%至90%的強姦案因害怕報復沒有得到報告。
The Defense Task Fore meanwhile found that only 8% of those military rape charges that have been reported result in prosecution, and astonishingly, about 80% of those who do get convicted are honorably discharged from the army.
美國國防部工作豐立同時發現，那些報告的軍事強姦指控只有8％被起訴，以及驚人地，那些確被定罪的人約 80％，是光榮開除軍籍。
"There are a few serial rapists over there who get away with it, because of the way the military law is set up," Lori Manning from Women's Research and Educational Institute told Press TV.
“那裡有幾個連續的強姦擺脫它，由於軍法成立的方式，”洛裡曼寧的婦女研究和教育機構告訴新聞TV。
Some women who join the military to help fight in Iraq and Afghanistan say they are more likely to be raped by a fellow American soldier than getting killed by enemy fire.
一些婦女加入軍隊，幫助在伊拉克和阿富汗打仗，說她們更可能被美國同胞士兵強姦，多過被敵人炮火所殺。
Women groups are now calling on the Pentagon to hire more psychologists to help female soldiers cope after being raped. They have also asked for more military prosecutors and more rape prevention programs which have so far done little to stem the rising number of rapes.
婦女團體現呼籲五角大樓僱用更多的心理學家，以幫助女兵被強姦後應付，它們還要求更多的軍事檢察官和更多預防強姦項目，迄今阻止增加的強姦已做到的甚少。
However, even though President Barack Obama's administration is quit aware of the problem of rape in the US military, it has been very slow in addressing the issue, and has only asked the Congress to advance more money for more prevention programs.
