It is not a matter of either...
a) conscript unwed fathers into the military or force them to get married.
Or
b) let them off “scott free”.
Your “solution” would weaken both marriage and our military.
Please think through the consequences of your policy prescriptions.
“Ah the dilemma of the false choice!
It is not a matter of either...”
Fair enough. What do you suggest is a solution to young men impregnating teen girls, then taking no responsibility for their actions?
We got into this pattern when the government provided welfare only to families where there was no father living in the home. Government, in essence, rewarded the broken family. When you pay people for a given behavior, it stands to reason you will get more of that very behavior.
