>>eliminating what he calls “barriers to women’s success in the armed forces.”
They don’t meet the readiness physical challenges yet they are fast tracked for promotion in numbers greater than their composition of the military in total.
What barrier is there to success when they are given special promotions?
make it real easy for everyone, all women get norplant on enlistment. no abortions ever needed while in service.
Killing the enemy .. bad. Killing your baby.. good. What a plan
In the late 1970s, Lieutenant General Julius Becton, the Army’s 7th Corps Commander in Germany told female soldiers to have abortions or get out of the Army. He was promptly relieved and sent home. How times have changed.
Not sure what goes on now. Up thorough the ‘90s pregnancy would allow one to resign ones commission or stay in being non deployable as another choice.
The assumption was that children and families needed the care of a wife and mother.
Now I see children at thanksgiving last week with no siblings, and their grandmothers as their primary caregivers while their mothers don’t interact with them. Some sitting on the sofa all day drinking nothing to talk about. Their jobs are everything - except they’re meaningless.
However, Reading this Is impossible. it is illogical to the core
What is an unplanned pregnancy? In the logical world, I mean
Women had better get their act together our society is falling apart
Never in my dreams/nightmare in a lifelong career in which I took off 20 years to take care of raising a family did I ever feel pressure to have an abortion. Is this the progress women want?
I’m not surprised, I could see it coming. But I never bought into it.
With that mindset, I’d expect him to REQUIRE any military female that gets pregnant on a deployment to get an abortion, whether or not she was married. This guy may have served as an officer in the Navy but I wonder what he got out of it, other than a few closeted sex partners.
Good soldiers have self discipline and know where the base clinic is.
Keep your legs together or get birth control.
No excuses or whining in the military.
Huh! Combine that with a policy of demotion by two grades for seeing a baby to term and you’d really have something.
Buttigieg is really coming up from behind. He’ll be pulling a head in no time.
Ahh, Poofter Pete. I can just imagine that you and you spouse are awaiting the birth of your first child.
Want to succeed in the military? Don't get pregnant down range.
My aunt was a navy wife, and she told me that a lot of female crew would turn up pregnant at the base clinic before their ship was supposed to go out.
They’d get shore duty and then most of them would have abortions. This was back in the eighties.
Not much excuse to get pregnant by accident these days. Either use a condom every time, or the pill, IUD, implant. Condom plus one of the others equals 0.01% chance of getting pregnant each year. You’d think the military would teach risk calculation.
Many young women will enjoy male attention too much when they are scarce. Wanton doesn’t think of consequences.
The other solution of course is chastity, very old school.
This “women need abortion for their careers” has been going on for decades too. Let the babies pay for careers with their lives; let the women who have a lurking conscience tear their hearts out, and let’s call that a compassionate and pro-woman society.
In Buttplug’s ideal military, all those fags would have no interest in females, so no abortion problems.....
Or women should realize that military combat is not what they are best at.
How about they be real good soldiers and not get pregnant. There's no shortage of prevention methods. If nothing else, they can insist the dude wear protection.
