"A while ago in the Gulf war there were two women taken and this was thought to be the first women not raped in a military hostage situation."



I like military history and try to keep up on things, including this aspect of military history.

I was wondering what sources you are using for this knowledge of rape and POWs in military history.

I don't mean the two women in 1991, or the suspicious claims about private lynch.

You hear it all the time from the military types that get interviewed over the years on various news articles and shows.
I think even Rush Limbaugh had sourced this or talked about this issue before.

I've been reading and listening to issue regarding American women captured in conflicts/war for the last 15 years.

It was a major topic when the US military started to let women closer to the front lines in conflicts.
