Review of The Invisible War (2012) by Simon W — 23 Feb 2013

The Invisible War documentary film written and directed by Kirby Dick. Film premiered at Sundance Film Festival, where the documentary received U.S. Documentary Audience Award. The film has been nominated for Best Documentary Feature by Academy Awards. Documentary touches the untouchable subject of sexual assault suffered by young women in the U.S. military.

The subject is critical that exposes the abuses suffered by women in U.S. military. The shameful nature of these cases, is that these go unhinged day by day, accumulating the rate of exploitation. These women are sexually assaulted in the military, and when the report these cases to their seniors, they often are asked to keep mum about it, the facts show that 25% of the people to be reported about these incidents, are the ones who have actually committed these inhuman acts - victims suffer trauma, and everlasting horrendous memory of what happened to them - their marital lives go shattered.

The Invisible War echos the cries of the women of the U.S. against their protectors. A military that inflicts sick grievances like this to their colleagues, imagine about them, what they be doing to women in Iraq and Afghanistan. While the incidents of rape of underage girls occasionally come out of Japan and South Korea, where the U.S. military is stationed.

Women everywhere, deserve fair treatment. Panetta, Rumsfeld, Robert Gates should be ashamed of their miserable approach to such cases.

NOTE:

Founding-Father of Pakistan Muhammad Ali Jinnah 1876-1948 said the following about WOMEN.

1. There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both, THAT OF THE WOMEN.

2. No nation can ever be worthy of its existence that cannot take its women along with the men.

3. No struggle can ever succeed without women participating side by side with the men.
