This is an extreme position I know, and will probably get me thrown in a reeducation camp at some point in the near future, but maybe pregnant women shouldn't be in the military? Maybe they should be honorably discharged upon receiving a positive test and sent home to care for their kids? Or better yet, how about we just don't let women serve at all?

No. The nation spend way too much training on them all to just miraculously get discharged 3 months into any serious conflict.

On the contrary, they are breaking their service. If women want to be in military, they can, but do not let them escape their duty for free. Let them suffer the same way a man has to.

@LukeAlmighty @Shadowman311 Pregnant women in combat are a liability. Having an effective fighting force is more important than misguided notions of "fairness" and "equality."

Obviously.

But: Morality is also an important factor. If you make an example, and send a preggers mom to the front lines, you won't loose 1/2 the fighting force the moment a real battle starts.

Was it a mistake to accept women in the first place? Absolutely. But now, the least you can do is to try forging them into sodiers. No matter how many of them end up broken and infertile.
