Gotta agree...they signed up to serve their country and obey orders...not to have children and leave gaps in their units.

Uh, you sign up for the military, you abide by their rules.

Also, women use the pregnancy "get out of harm" card all the time. You can't have your cake and eat it, too.

I always thought it was stupid to put women on board combat ships. Can you imagine all the nasty soap opera drama on board a Nimitz class carrier which could screw w/its combat effectiveness?

I' sure a dishonorable and all loss of benifits earned would put a halt to this.

If you get a Dishonorable Discharge, you lose all benefits by default. Not to mention you can't work for any government contractor ever, that includes McDonalds.

Going slightly of topic here. I watched a documentary on Googlevideo other night - Operation Homecoming - Writing the wartime experience. A unique documentary about troops' experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan, based on writings by soldiers, Marines, and air men. Very cool and an eye opener. Didn't find it anti American or anti war just views on what soldiers thought.

Yet more reason why those weak men should be banned from the military.

Also if we mandated that all men and women in the military were gay we wouldn't have this problem.
