Should these women now face a dishonourable discharge, for a self inflicted condition, making them unfit for active service?

Lofty....a Freudian slip . ;-)))))

I reckon after a couple of brandys all sorts of feeling could be going on..

I'm off out now. But I'm still giggling...............

Boxers often refrain from any sexual activity before a fight as it helps to maintain focus, discipline and aggression. Our soldiers serving in Afghanistan don't bother to do that, which not only explains why we have failed to achieve military success there in 8 years, but also why our army has slumped in the international league table from 5th in 2007, to 9th in 2008 and 11th in 2009.

So you would know this then?

I think a group of battled hardened soldiers, would be only too obliged to put you on a correct footing over this.

Boy would I love to see conscription back, you would be shaking and crying for your mother, you poor example of a British citizen.

Well you tryed the paedophilia analogy, and you admitted that didn't work, so you thought you would try Afro Caribbeans ??????????????

What next, If the women had been wearing Burkas they would not have seemed so attractive to our servicemen?.

The subject of the problems in the Afro Caribbean community caused mainly by the absence of black fathers, is a totally different subject entirely.

Or can you not just see this?

Come up with a more sensible argument and I will join you in debate, but anymore like this, just don't expect an answer.

Yes it does take two but it isn't like there isn't such a thing as contraception. That is one thing the army do teach u about.
Both sides should be dismissed of misconduct. You can't plead ignorance in this day and age.
And that goes for the chav mother population as well

I'd find military service pretty easy actually.

If you concentrate on the job you're given rather than shoving yourself up female soldiers, desperately hawking round for private security work, beating up civilians, and sneering at the locals, there's not much to it.

[LoftyLottie]

AOG Why do you resort to being so rude to people

"Boy would I love to see conscription back, you would be shaking and crying for your mother, you poor example of a British citizen."

It doesn't do you and your arguments any favours at all and makes you look very childish.

"It doesn't do you and your arguments any favours at all and makes you look very childish."

I've had that from lofty too......it means she is interested in you.........;-))

[LoftyLottie]

I was far ruder to you Sqad!! I didn't call you childish, quite the reverse if I remember correctly!

Go forth and worm those cats with your snooker cue!!!

If there are 7000 troups in Afghanistan, and 10% of them are women that makes 700 women. I know - give me a A+ in A-level maths.

Out of the 700 women, all of them presumably of fertile age, 10 of them got pregnant in the last six months.

In my workplace there are 60 women, we have 4 off on maternity and another four due to go on maternity in the next six months.

Either I work with an utterly irresponsible, loose gang of women, or the Afghanistan serving females are remarkably below avarage in the auld pregnancy ratings.

I can't see why anyone would take offence at the fact that a very, very small number of women were found to be pregnant and had to be sent home to protect their unborn child. I certainly don't see it as a vindication of the argument that they are trying to take an easy option nor raise the issue that they should face dishonourable discharge.

I should have said '4 of them have been sent home in the last six months having been found to be pregnant' not that they got pregnant in the last six months - we don't know when they got pregnant, which is kind of the crux of the matter as far as the MOD seem to be concerned.
