dude she was "f-cking" those men AFTER the rape as a way to get back at her father for not protecting her with the rape incident and also was mentally traumatized because of having to keep what happened to her secret not mention having her own father, a general, tell her to just "forget about it" and have no remorse. Yeah for her behavior post incident she should had been discharged but those idiots who raped her should had been charged and put in prison long before that.
also Mark1985 it was made clear in the film that those guys hated her becuase of the fact she was smart and capablefar from a "dumb broad". -

no she wasn't "banging" the men who raped her(she didn't even know who they were). she was sleeping around with ranking officers that worked with her father as a pay back sort of thing at her father. She was messed up mentally after the rape so by that time she was starting "lose it" so to speak. As in her grades began to slip and performance in drills were barely getting by, the mind games she was playing against her father, etc. do you get it now?(not being sarcastic btw)

@dethdroogie502: I sympathize with you in the attempt to explain the facts but I'm afraid it's pointless to explain to someone who 1) doesn't remember the movie that well 2) isn't too fond of 'women in the military' 3) probably would have hated her in case he served under her command so, yeah. Pointless.
I saw the movie yesterday so I remember quite well. But I don't know how can someone forget the important stuff and remember 'something about her being a bitch who deserved it' without being an a-hole. Wait, I know :rolleyes: -

Rape is more about violence than sex. They hated a woman being among their ranks and rape is one of the most violent things that can be perpetrated on a woman. In many cases they still hate them being there today, though it's lessening, considerably. Eventually the hatred will stop altogether, except with a select few idiots. The sooner, the better.

Raped is about control.
I read the book probably in 1997 or so. And it goes into more detail about the rape and why the men who raped her and reasoning behind it. She out ranked them and many felt it was because of her father and they resented her because of that, plus when one of them did something wrong against orders and she turned him in (Elby) and just pissed them off even more. As she got lost in the brush they were stalking her, and that frightened her even more. Then one by one they all grabbed her, tied her up (they carried the stakes and the rope in their packs, so it was premeditated strike against her) they decided to beat her up first and then one of the guys said she needed to be humiliated that's when they raped her.
In the book also, the general's wife Ann was alive. And Fowler's wife (I don't recall her name) had a role in it too. She didn't want him to take the heat for what General Campbell did but she went out to speak with Elizabeth and she refused to come back to the house. The last time Col Fowler went out to talk to her she was already dead and he didn't report it to the General. So he knew before hand when Brenner and Sunhill told him. In the end he didn't get the job when word leaked out. -
