maybe she just really wanted to get rid of you

back in 2005 I heard a woman speak who had been in the military stationed in Iraq, inside the green zone. she told stories of how women wouldn't drink any liquids after a certain hour so they wouldn't have to use the bathroom after dark, since thats where most of the predators were lurking. or if they had to, they would go in groups with weapons ready.

she also talked about how one woman in her unit got raped and went to her CO, only to be told by the CO that nothing would be done since the guy who raped her was seen as a "hero" by most of the people in her unit.

really horrible stuff.
