And you might be surprised- news people are generally pretty laid back about privacy - after all we're always reaching in each other's shirts to get the mic placed right, etc.

And yes, I've worked with women in satellite trucks during hurricane coverage where we had to eat, change, sleep, and work in the truck. Can't change outside 'cause there's gallons of rain being driven sideways at you.

And there's even been times when we've had to relieve ourselves into jugs because we're not anywhere near a bathroom and we can't leave the truck. We werent' worried about enemy fire at the time, but we didn't have any privacy either. No big deal. We were adults, and we did not go at it like jackrabbits afterward either, as some are suggesting the soldiers would do if they were integrated.

I say again, if you're trying to get in the pants of the soldier next to you while machine gun bullets are whizzing past your helmets, you're a moron. Gender has nothing to do with it.

And if you're a big enough moron to try and screw while you're being shot at, you shouldn't be in the military anyway.
