GI's have been officially prohibited from becoming pregnant in a war zone. Apparently failure in Iraq is inconceivable.

Since deployments are common nowadays at 10 or 15 years, that is quite an accomodation.

I wasn't aware we were recruiting that young...

LOL. Lengths of deployments are very long now, reportedly ten to fifteen years in some cases.

I've never heard of a deployment that long or even anywhere near that long. 15 years is 3/4 of a military career! I guarantee no one ever spends that long in a single deployment. You've obviously never been in the service.

Does one actually need to be in the service to state what has happened? Let me guess, you were in the military, so you know better.

No. But 15 year deployments do not happen as you state.

*** GI's cannot be screwed except by Congress ***

......Pat Tillman might disagree with that.......

I remember during Desert Story that a large percentage of in theater females were choosing to get pregnant as a sure method of getting out of country. The females are equal except they have a 'physical' option male soldiers have not (not exactly equal after all).

'Story' should be 'Storm'.
