>>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
And an easy out for avoiding deployment. Get knocked up....
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.
More recently than that, women who got pregnant were given honorable discharges if they didn’t complain. Obviously if this plan is enacted, sexual harassment in the armed forces will not decrease!
Becton was a general worth following into combat.
I’ve always said if they ever try to draft women we will see a baby boom bigger than that after WWII. We will also see the pro life movement grow to levels never seen before.
“ make it real easy for everyone, all women get norplant on enlistment. no abortions ever needed while in service”
Yeah. That will take the pressure off women to pursue a normal life
Omgosh! What is wrong with people.
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.
“ And an easy out for avoiding deployment. Get knocked up....“
Of course some women get pregnant to avoid deployment. Men shoot themselves in the foot.
No difference. Unless one looks at it throgh a misogynist mindset.
Ahh, Poofter Pete. I can just imagine that you and you spouse are awaiting the birth of your first child.
better than demanding they have abortions.
also will stop women from ‘accidentally’ getting pregnant to avoid deployment.
“ I cannot think of a better way to quickly debase a woman’s morals.“
After many years in the military my morals were not once ever debased. My friends who are now lifelong are the finest most loyal, family women who raised their kids tho be educated members of society.
So. No.
Sick.
