Single moms should not be in the military in the first place.
This.
How did she come to be a single mom, not just a single?
Ladies in the service (and God bless the good ones) pose their own set of problems.
Women,regardless of marital status, with young children should not be on active duty. Place them into the inactive reserves until all young’uns are 18.
My bet is that she was not a single mom when she enlisted. This is a major, major problem with having women in the armed forces. There is a need to have people who can deploy and having a kid makes that a tough proposition.
Not so much that she’s a single mom; she’s just an irresponsible person. Even if she wanted to have a child and be in the military too, she should have thought through the pros and cons and make the appropriate decisions. She should have been prepared for the possibility that she would be deployed (it wasn’t like it was a surprise) and should have made better arrangements for her child. Depending on her mother was kinda stupid.
And what about the baby’s father? Where is he in all of this?
21 years old...probably a product of our state run education system. Sure, the kiddies are indoctrinated about global warming, but they know nothing about the practical matters in life. More and more of our young are graduating from school with the intelligence of a turnip.
Nor should married moms, unless their youngest child is age 18 or over. Our nation’s need for military personnel is not that desperate.
DITTO!!
