No Shelter
“We had to do our business in the porta potties stationed around the base. One night Karen had gone out to one of these porta potties. She had done her business. When she had finished and opened the door, someone was waiting for her. He punched her in the nose. He knocked her down. Then he hit her two more times until she was unconscious and raped her. “Apparently it happened a lot over there,” I say. The fan keeps blowing in the corner, making the drapes over the windows sway. “Some women were... knocked out and raped and then left there to be raped by whoever else came along.” “What was done about it?” “At the time? Nothing.” I forced Karen to go to our CO. She hadn’t wanted to; she was embarrassed. She said she couldn’t even identify the man if she had to. I wasn’t there when she spoke to the CO. I only found out later what the CO said. He had apologized but asked her what else could she expect—we were at war. I told Karen we would contact someone else, but she told me just to forget it.MoreLess
