I think they moved the discipline to failing to wear a condom or use birth control.

oh thank god

we need baby soldiers

we all are born property of the united states government anyways..

god i hate this fucking place..

Women are starting to remind me of cats who can't control themselves or their fertility. I mean please, who would be stupid enough to fall pregnant in a war zone?

See? I just knew white colonization of the Middle East was always the endgame!

Sounds like a Terminator scheme...
"The Borgy Boomers"

Then fucking leave you whiny f2'r.

Do you accept that?

. .

I thought the ruling to punish pregnant women was unreasonable and rather idiotic.


Glad to see they had second thoughts on this.

.

and leave malls every block and fast food? are you kidding me.... sarcasm..

im in the process of it..

and to the other person..

im just a whisper of a voice in a crowd of screaming lunitics.

people in tihs country dont care about anything that is real. you all should know this, thats why we come to sites like this.

but the trolls are out in full force tonight.

someone who decided that being in a war zone was hazardous to their health

Well so much for equality then. Hey girls is it all getting a bit tough for you, hey just fall pregnant for your one way ticket out of here.

I agree ... when young people are together there will be sex ... It's like trying to stop the sun from coming up.

. .

Looking for an amen?
You got one.

As long as Obama provides federal funds so we can abort the baby at tax payers expense then that is a FANTASTIC idea!

BRILLIANT!!!

That is a great idea. It would be soo cool to be born in a war zone. Bombs exploding all around!

I seriously doubt that women get pregnant just to get out of a combat assignment. However, I'm not the brightest bulb in the chandelier and I could be wrong (gasp).

However, if I were to assume that women did get pregnant to get out of a war zone, what should we make of it. We talk about equality, but what does equality really mean? Does it mean that it is unfair for a women to use pregnancy as an excuse to avoid combat when men have no comparable advantage? But if that's true, what value is equality in and of itself?

Suppose that someone breaks into your home and shots your wife to death, and is about to leave. Do you demand that he kill you and your children the name of equality?

Suppose that you're in a combat area where 500 wounded men are dying, and there are only enough surgeons to treat and save one hundred men. Would you insist that the doctors leave everyone to die in the name of equality?

And if you were in a combat area and a few dozen people wanted to leave, should they stay in the name of equality? I think not. I believe that anyone who has become disillusioned with war should be allowed to quit, period. If someone has found a way to avoid the awfulness of war, I applaud them. Equality seems to work better when you are trying to elevate everyone to the same ideal rather than reduce all to the same lower standard. Risking one's life in a senseless war is not, by any definition, a lofty objective. If I were a combat Marine again, I would much rather serve alongside someone who wanted to be there rather than someone – either man or woman – who did not.

There was time when men gave up their seats on the bus to a woman – any woman, not just one who was obviously pregnant. Is that equality? Of course not; it was something better and more noble: respect, courtesy and the appreciation for womanhood. Anyone who watches Judge Joe Brown has heard his motto: Protecting womanhood and promoting manhood. That means a lot. The world, to me, is far better when men are functioning within their biological, physical and psychological constraints, and women are allowed to do the same. Women who are willing to cross the line and TRY to perform the testosterone-dependent works normally done by males are to be commended. If they fail they are not to be condemned.

But that is just my own humble opinion (OK, I lied about the humble part).

Only fair that our military women can participate in PANIC SEX legally when TSHTF -- why not???

actually there never was a ban perse' only in deployment theaters was it prohibited. and with good reason. Some used getting pregnant in the military as an easy out. yet others still moved forward. So what we have here is much to do about nothing. Just a bunch of ugly women trying to influence the military arm.

whole idea why soldiers were kept away from sex is to increase their natural crulty.You bring women into war zone,there is going to be sex and there are going to be children.But it seems weird wy women should give birth in war zone when peoples are killed around them.Do they think expressing one of their most basic right will save them from trouble?
Actually,men and women armies should be separate.When there are women in army,there are going to be fights between soldiers.Not good for army morale.
Observe any army in history of mankind and you will see "uniformity" was the rule.
soldiers were grouped as per their race or religion or origin or anything which brings them closer.
In fact USA have not faced real army battle from many years(except Nazi germany).Vietnam may have been minor irritant but US army have not faced a real war from many years.If a real war breaks,US army will have to withdraw all these silly regulations which are good in normal life but will prove fatal in real battles.

They'll still have many problems getting out prego. I've seen it. My cousin did it right after boot camp. It is common. But wartime? Expect problems.

Just don't go.
