101st, Gulf War I: HHC. Several females.

Tactical showers built with slats for sides and open areas upper and lower -- so you can see around you when showering. . .in the field, in combat, never let your guard down.

Females complained that the men watched them shower. . .so. . .females got their own shower built, complete with full walls so no one can see then. . .and they couldn't see outside either. Tactically unsound and dangerous, but hey. . at least they had privacy.

Field latrines, half-50-gal drum with waist-high sides around the “toilets.” Must have half-walls because in a combat environment must be able to see around you even when sitting dow doing your business. . you are vulnerable. . .can't let your guard down. . . .unless you are a female.

Females complained and they had their own $h^^ers built, completely enclosed, of course, so the men couldn't watch them.

So, men had no privacy but women were afforded all the privacy they wanted. . .regardless of the tactical requirement to be alert, aware and able to respond,

No sir, standards and privacy will not be compromised, no sir (sarc/)

“Weak Link” book by Brian Mitchell is an excellent read to discover just how much combat standards have been lowered already. . .

Which throws the whole “equal rights” argument out the window. They wanted SPECIAL RIGHTS above the rights of men.
