This is the thing for people saying sexually assaulted people should be reporting it and shit. Most of the times when you report shit like that, nothing gets done, and you get ostracized at work.

For example: I was sexually assaulted in Basic Training. Some fucker tried to shove a broom handle up my ass when I was sleeping. Instead of kicking that guy's ass and getting a UCMJ or maybe even getting kicked out of the Army, I did what they hounded us to do, and reported it to SHARP(Sexual Harassment and Rape Prevention). When I did that, almost everyone in my platoon pretty much shunned me and made me feel like shit for doing it. Even some Drill Sergeants were saying stupid shit like: "Some people just get too stressed in situations like Basic Training and will blow up small situations just because they can't handle it." That was almost a direct quote, and he didn't mention me by name or anything, but he was obviously talking about me.

This was just Basic Training, where I would never have to see these fuckers again in a few weeks. I never got to even find out if they charged the dude with anything, all I heard before I left for AIT was that it got lowered from a sexual assault to regular plain old assault.

Imagine having to go through that bullshit, but you're stuck with the people that are going to make your life miserable because you said something because that's your job.
