Early last month, Army Maj. Gen. Tony Cucolo (left) issued General Order #1 as a means of informing those assigned to his Multi-National Division North (a.k.a., "Task Force Marne") that becoming pregnant -- or assisting in the effort -- is one of several types of conduct deemed "prejudicial to the maintenance of good order and discipline" among members of the 22,000-strong task force headquartered in Tikrit, Iraq. In fact, it ranks alongside alcohol, drugs, guns and similar vices on the general's list of prohibited activities.
Women have no ‘place’ on the battle field.
So, this new provision comes after #2p?
"p. Cohabitation of males and females except for lawfully married spouses. Married spouses will be allowed to cohabitate provided adequate accommodations are available."
That is the last article under "Prohibited Activities" on the latest GO #1 that I signed in '07. (I've been on missions since then where I was not subject to GO #1.)
Right.
You're not calling the shots. Since you are in such a position, you are merely bloviating.
I am however, calling the shots in my case. And I've spent about half of the past decade "on the battlefield."
Without your permission.
I'm on a break in the US right now and headed back to the sandbox in early 2010. I might be going to the 'Stan in the spring.
Take care and have a very Merry Christmas!
Bad things happen to good people.
Some bloke in Scotland demanded that doctors amputate his healthy leg, and they did it (without my permission).
Is everything that happens without my permission ok by you?
LOL - good reach.
Is it any more of a reach than you equating your presence near the battlefield with that of the women that are the subject of this article?
Careful, Dude. Katie Couric's going to get jealous.
(Yeah, I did say that one....) LMAO
