I know some rape victims become either promiscuous or the "dont touch me at all" kind.
Was she always a loose girl, or did this occur after her rape? She made a basement and recored herself having sex with men throughout the years. Did she do this for her pleasure or to maybe use it against these men later on in life. In the book it states that the Captain (police) destroyed the tapes because his son was seen in them.
Why was she having sex with all these different men? After she was raped? And with in her unit. I think i remember them saying she was trying to move up in rank, was she sleeping to move up? -

Also she says (in the movie) she's engaging in psychological warfare and the enemy is daddy. She may not be fully conscious of how self destructive she is but she knows her actions will destroy her "daddy".

She wanted to catch her Dad's attentionand bring his focus on her by bringing in the Shame to his name..she was only hoping if she beep around with every one of her Dad's men.he would just break-in and do something about her rape and the betrayal. Its saddening to realize that all the sex that she had with all those men..were only a reaction of the hell that she went through and was still going throughbecause of her Father's betrayal. I guess that's what happens when you realize that the only person you ever trusted or the only person that you ever depended on for the protection of your life and dignityapart from yourself.and if that person just refuses to protect you.I guess you just loose everything.

Brenner (Travolta) talks about it, in the film, with Sunhill (Stowe)

And btw., she was
that way
at night, maybe coming back from drinking and in the morning, in her office - when he brings her that basket of flowers - she's (fairly, yes, part of the plot) distant & not just because of their ranks; her speech, recorded on tape (towards the very end) sums up the entire movie - infinite number of shades, "don't ask, don't tell" and so on and it's a wonderful and sad movie.. Much of it lost, in these modern times. That statement, in the end credits, might was well be about our future and not about the movie.
