t r u t h o u t – Military Hides Cause of Women Soldiers’ Deaths
t r u t h o u t – Military Hides Cause of Women Soldiers’ Deaths:
“the former commander of Abu Ghraib prison testified that Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, former senior US military commander in Iraq, gave orders to cover up the cause of death for some female American soldiers serving in Iraq.”
So – What was that cause?
“several women had died of dehydration because they refused to drink liquids late in the day. They were afraid of being assaulted or even raped by male soldiers if they had to use the women’s latrine after dark.”
