I can tell you one thing NOT mentioned in the article that i'd bet big money causes extra problems for some women is the extra attention they get from the press and such. As an example, how many of you knows the names of any of the troops from the 505th besides Jessica Lynch?
Being singled out for such attention when you feel inside you did nothing special(especially when people in their rush to annoit you a hero make up all kinds of glorious crap) is a sure fire way to cause additional deep emotional stress.

At that time, it was highly unusual to find ANY survivors of an ambushed unit, if memory serves me correctly. The "glorious" issue of Jessica Lynch, was that they found here BEFORE she had been executed. To me, Jessica Lynch, was an heroic symbol of the special ops team who went in and saved her.
I didn't know that women getting attention in combat annoyed you so greatly.
