The regiment touts him as the epitome of the Iraqi translator . . . So when he rapes a Staff Sergeant in the translator shack . . . she knows she can’t report it. She’s older. She’s been in the Army longer. She knows the machine better. He’s the Son of the Regiment and she’s an American woman. She knows exactly whom they’ll believe. So she says nothing, reports nothing, becomes a statistic, and saves her career.
