U.S. airmen helped an Afghan woman give birth to a baby girl after going into labor during an evacuation flight en route to Germany, U.S. Air Mobility Command said.

The command said in a statement Saturday that the mother went into labor and began experiencing complications due to low blood pressure on board a flight from "an intermediate staging base in the Middle East." The C-17 aircraft commander decided to descend in altitude to increase air pressure, which the command said "helped stabilize and save the mother's life."

The plane landed at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, where airmen came aboard and helped deliver the baby in the cargo bay of the plane.

"The baby girl and mother were transported to a nearby medical facility and are in good condition," a command spokesperson said.

It was not clear when the woman departed Afghanistan.

Since the birth was on an American plane, the kid will get automatic American citizenship and a democrat registration card.

“Airmen” came aboard?

Better would be “corpse-men”.

Would being on a US military aircraft, in flight, constitute giving that little 12th century savage Birthright Citizenship? I f*cking hope not. But who cares at this point.

Why couldn’t Guantanamo be made into a refugee facility quickly?

The base (where I grew up) is about 45 square miles. A portion of that is seeded with land mines. And much of it is used for Naval purposes and housing dependents.

It could be used, but not for all the evacuees.
