I am interested in the comparison between those suffering from combat-related PTSD and from sexual assault-related PTSD.

Two out of 10 rape victims are reporting today. I would not pat yourself on the back for 2 out of 10.

How do DOD and VA currently transition servicemembers who have been sexually assaulted?

Dr. McCutcheon and Dr. Bell, do you believe there should be different treatment programs for male and female survivors?

Having 2 out of 10 report is insufficient and is still a significant failure.

This is extremely helpful in our deliberation to understanding these issues, and we are grateful for your service.

It is also that it is decided as a family matter, and the person deciding has to decide between two children that they both deeply love.

I agree with my colleague from Massachusetts. She said it exactly right, as will the other Senators who are going to speak on this issue today. I urge Congress to work immediately to tackle the mountain of student debt which is crippling…
