"If someone took her, then despite what was reported, she will have been raped.

Every female prisoner in war so far has been raped to my understanding, as have some men."



Where are you getting that understanding?

From every past American hostage/prisoner ever taken in war.

A while ago in the Gulf war there were two women taken and this was thought to be the first women not raped in a military hostage situation.
A year later they also said they were raped.

It's one of the main reasons people don't want women in areas of actual battle.
Nurses and Medics risk it anyway, but mechanics and fighting women give much unneeded exposure in the opinion of many.
