Finding the posting to Afghanistan a little hard to stand?

Solution (for females at least) get pregnant, and once again the Army will look after you and your baby by providing you with accommodation etc.

By immaculate conception I assume?

My God oldgit for once I am in agreement with you

[anotheoldgit]

Thanks, just goes to prove the "truth doesn't necessarily have to hurt".

[ummmm]

As SP says....it takes two to tango...

But....they knew what the job entailed so abstinence was in order, but by both parties.

I don't think they would have done it just to be sent home though. Do the army supply condoms?

[ummmm]

Or maybe they should give the females the implant....

What a sham,,i thought woman soldiers were lesbians ?

[IggyB]

so just to be clear this article is about 133 female soldiers that been sent home from Iraq and Afghanistan between 2003 and 2006 - I don't know the number of women in active duty in these war zones but 133 over 6 years doesn't sound so bad does it?

I think you should be thankful to our brave troops and not cast aspersions against their good names with this sort of story designed to run down the guys and girls risking their lives for queen and country - shame on you

I am sure you would all agree that the soldiers who fathered these children should be thrown out of the army. We pay them to fight not to f*ck.

I feel confident that when AOG was in the forces, he restrained from sex or indeed any impure thoughts.

You could say you pay people to be bus-drivers ,Gromit, not to have a private life - what people do in the day job doesn't affect what they get up to in their spare time. The forces in the field still get time off, they don't get at it on the front line instead of being on patrol.
