>>Uh, excuse me, but what is a "single mother"? I believe in the old days (before political correctness was enshrined by Liberals) that less-flattering terms were used to describe out-of-wedlock mothers.<<

I know three single mothers in the military. One had a chiild out of wedlock, one was divorced by her husband for another woman and one is a widow.

Single mother covers all three - there are child care issues but the person still serves their country.

"I know three single mothers in the military. One had a chiild out of wedlock, one was divorced by her husband for another woman and one is a widow. "Your first sentence is politically correct.

Your second sentence is ACCURATE.
