Re: Women in the Infantry?

Col. Karpinski testified that "several" female soldiers died from dehydration.
My question would be, weren't these deaths reported by the DOD?
I looked at all of our female deaths in Iraq from 3/23/03 through 3/9/04 (even though
Sanchez transferred control of Abu Ghraib from Karpinski's unit to the 205TH MIB on 11/19/03).

There were 18 deaths, (including one civilian Army employee) of these only 7 were non-hostile and only 2 of those occurred during the time of year when the temps could have reach 120 degrees...both of these were weapons discharges. I don't even know if any of these female soldiers were located at Abu Ghraib, but I wonder how she was able to verify several deaths due to dehydration.
