Pssht

That’s so ignorant it’s not even worth getting mad at.

There are plenty of men recruiters who tell women signing up that there is no way they’re getting deployed. Sleazy behavior is not restricted to one or the other gender, ya dope.

I know a lot of women who served many years and in various Mideast deals, six months at a time. I knew some who were pilots who got sent home as soon as the shooting started and they were very upset and disappointed they didn’t get to challenge themselves in combat or near it.

They were not looking to get pregnant, as you say.

Might want to do a check on the company you keep.

You say it as if I said all of them are doing this way.
As I said earlier military service is a different type of career. Their benefits are well-deserved most of the time.

You are wrong...
While it’s been awhile since I was in, it was very prevalent even back then that many women, who at that time were assigned to support ships (tenders, etc.) only, notoriously got pregnant before a deployment to get out of it, after which many had abortions once assigned to shore duty. Stats on this were pretty astonishing even back then...
