In the last three years, more than 5,000 women veterans, most of whom never reported the incidents, have come forward at Department of Veterans Affairs outreach centers to be treated for harassment, rape and sexual assault that occurred in the military. The State investigates how an ill-prepared military began recruiting women for its new, all-volunteer force. In many cases, the results were tragic for women thrust into an institution that didn't want them and was for years oblivious to their plight. (June 16, 23, 1996)
