23-year-old Army SPC completed a tour in Iraq during which she was continually sexually harassed and assaulted by three men in her command. Suffering from PTSD, she went AWOL in January 2006 to resist redeploying with the same unit. She was apprehended and imprisoned briefly in January 2007. She remains on active duty until 2009 and has been active in anti-war and anti-rape protests. Her mother Sara Rich says, “The Army has turned her into a fierce warrior for peace and justice.”
