Is There an Army Cover-Up of Rape and Murder of Women Soldiers?

The Department of Defense statistics are alarming - one in three
women who join the US military will be sexually assaulted or raped by
men in the military. The warnings to women should begin above the doors
of the military recruiting stations, as that is where assaults on women
in the military begin - before they are even recruited.

But, now, even more alarming, are deaths of women soldiers in Iraq
and in the United States following rape. The military has characterized
each death of women who were first sexually assaulted as deaths from
"noncombat related injuries," and then added "suicide." Yet, the
families of the women whom the military has declared to have committed
suicide strongly dispute the findings and are calling for further
investigations into the deaths of their daughters. Specific US Army
units and certain US military bases in Iraq have an inordinate number of
women soldiers who have died of "noncombat related injuries," with
several identified as "suicides."
