Iraqi Soldiers could be suspended for being pregnant

I am not surprised. As many piece of sh*t girls who I saw while I was in the navy that purposely got pregnant to either get out of going on deployment, or came home early from deployment, I'm not surpirsed they are enforcing this. I AM surprised they didnt do it sooner.

Of course, if you're stupid enough to get pregnant for the wrong reasons, you don't need to be fighting the war anyway.

Nah, their mission just needs to involve searching for and removing land mines...

Anyone who leaves this fight early because they made a personal choice that changed their medical status -- or contributes to doing that to another -- is not in keeping with a key element of our ethos."

So if one soldier "accidentally" gives another soldier HIV and they have to leave combat for treatment, do they get sanctioned?

I'm going to guess that HIV counts as a medical condition that would probably get you out of military service permanantly.

I'm actually OK with this, since both sides of the equation would be punished. I would have an issue with it if it was just the females getting disciplined. The military enforces all kinds of rules on its members 24-7, and they enlist knowing so.

I would have thought that not getting pregnant in a combat zone would fall under the heading of "NO SHIT". I guess I can see how some women would try and get pregnant on purpose to get out of there, but if someone wants out of there THAT bad, do you really want THEM around protecting your back??
