As if they don't have enough to deal with...

... fighting in Iraq, once the lights go out, women soldiers live in constant fear of being raped by their male counterparts in the latrines, if they are unfortunate enough to need to use them after dark, according to Col. Janis Karpinski (demoted from general after taking much of the blame for Abu Ghraib.) So apparently many of the women avoided drinking water after a certain time in the afternoon, thus causing dehydration-related deaths, which, surprise, surprise, were hushed up.

Karpinski published a book about her life in the military called One Woman's Army.
