If an injury follows you to Veterans Affairs, then absolutely that's where it should be dealt with. As Dawn said, sometimes you don't know that you've been injured. Sometimes you don't speak up when you have been raped or abused because the consequences are often worse than the act itself, believe it or not. I can't tell you the number of women who say they tried to report it and the backlash was strong, or they were removed from their unit as if they were the problem. They are not reporting it. It's not seen. It's covert.
