Hold on...I spent 19 months in Iraq (including Camp Victory). I NEVER heard of any females (or males) dying from dehydration rather than go to the porta-potties. Sorry ladies but that is just crazy. It sucked getting out of bed in the middle of the night and walking 100 meters just to go pee. I used the readily available water bottle, so did my roommates. I assume the women did something similar. Sure there have been rapes in Iraq and in the military: just like in the civilian world. Let's use only real facts here not sensationalized stories...

I re-read your post urthsong. Camp Victory is a huge complex, as big as many cities in the US. When I was there in 2004 there was air-conditioning in most buildings, especially the sleeping quarters. It's not 120 degrees at night either. You have either been duped by this story or you are full of BS. What is your source?

So now it is 2003 and not 2004. You just change the facts as they suit you. If there were no a/cs then there would be no porta-potties or latrines either. You ever heard of a straddle trench? I am not arguing that no rapes take place in Iraq. I'm not saying that there haven't been many people die from the heat. However, I doubt this story very much. Anyway, you will believe what reinforces your point regardless of the actual truth. Have a good day ladies, I'm gone...
