In reply to the discussion: Hello ... [View all]Mnemosyne
(21,363 posts)19. Woman troops were being so abused in Iraq that they were causing themselves horrible UTI's because
was not safe to use the restrooms during the night. I remember reading about at least one young woman that did commit suicide several years ago, rather than return to the hell some male soldiers created for them.
I threatened to break my daughter's legs (I never even spanked her), if she ever tried to join the military. She suffers from Compound PTSD already.
I am so sorry you suffered like that, LaVena. I remember when it happened.
Thanks for the reminder, TA.
