We need these questions answered for the sake of making sound military policy. Female recruits need to have full disclosure about their conditions of employment, not a fairy tale.
UNRESOLVED QUESTIONS: THE MYSTERY OF PFC. LYNCH: What We Need to Know About “Bloody Sunday”
I completely agree. After reading about the treatment of POWs in WWII and Korea (Notably 'Ghost Soldiers', concerning the Bataan death march survivors, and various books on North Korean prison camps) I'd have to say that soldiers are far better off having an idea what they're getting into.
Not every soldier has the opportunity to go to SERE school, or even do worthwile unit level training. They can at least be mentally aware and prepared for what awaits them should they become captured. Not being prepared causes people to break under the pressure far sooner than they could hold out.
There is nothing to be gained by avoiding the issue. Soldiers should know what they're up against, always. If female soldiers have different challenges to face than male ones, those should be well identified.
