Military veteran Kita Rose issued a warning to women being deployed to the Middle East to support the US-Israeli operations in Iran.
President Trump ordered missile strikes that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei on Saturday, February 28.
Ali Shamkani, Iran’s former head of national defense council, was also killed in the missile strikes.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said at a Pentagon briefing that the operations in Iran are not a “regime change war” and will not be an endless conflict.
“This is not Iraq. This is not endless,” he said. “This is not a so-called regime change war, but the regime sure did change, and the world is better off for it.”
Meanwhile, military veteran Kita Rose says women being deployed in the Middle East are not safe from their own commanders.
“If you haven’t figured it out by now, you are fighting for a country that does not give a f–k about you,” Kita Rose said in a video going viral on Instagram.
She captioned the video:
“Women in the armed forces have to fight off more than just the ‘enemy’. FIND YOUR BATTLE & be safe.”
Kita said male soldiers are “in survival” mode and they think they can do whatever they want to women because there are less rules. They don’t believe there will be consequences in a foreign country.
She warned women to buddy up with other women in the armed forces because a lot of women get s*xually assaulted in the military.
Kita urged women who are SA’d to write down names of the attacker and the people who were around at the time. “Do not run to the first female sergeant or female commander that you see” because “they are not girls’ girls.”
Kita said women who are SA’d in the military should wait until after they return home from deployment to report the assault. She also suggested going to therapy because the therapy notes will be used as evidence.

“Only to give hope, I am one of the senior officers on my deployment. My command team and staff really are upstanding people with integrity. They do put BELT to ASS for bad behavior and I will stand on business when I say… we will clear the room for each other. I know it’s crazy and I cannot speak for anyone else but I got them… and they got me.”

“Ladies, please use the battle buddy system in a minimum of 4, even if it’s just to go to the bathroom. 2 just isn’t enough. Praying for all my people serving.”

“And on your off time, gone head and sign up for MMA training. The combatives level 1 aint enough. In the moment while its happening, you need to be able to save your own body and life….there is no guarantee there will be an ‘after you get back from deployment’ moment to address anything.”
