U.S. Central Command is not tracking the number of troops who must leave the Iraq war theater due to pregnancy, prompting military advocates to charge the Pentagon wants to keep secret what could be an embarrassing statistic.

Good post, as always.
I used to worry that the military would one be comprised of just gay guys and lesbians. But at least I figured they would still make up a fearsome fighting force. Imagining our military as a "mecca for single moms", now that's a really scary thought!
Just more good things the feminists have done for "the children".
Oh, thanks for that mental image. No, I'm not referring to the leash bit. Eww...
I suspect beer goggles were involved...
And many of those pregnancies were intentional so they could go home. I bet it is the same now.
If it's not a crime, it should be.
This is also known as..."Close enough for Government work."
If a male soldier shoots himself to get out of combat, he is punished under UCMJ, a female on the other hand DELIBERATELY gets pregnant to get out of same situation...is returned here to Germany...is given housing a maternity uniform and a medical profile....
The squinting former congressperson Patsy Schroeder should have her @$$ called on the carpet for this.
She was the big feminazi gun behind getting more women into the fighting military.
