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.

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.
