In reply to the discussion: Female Army Vet Accused of Murdering Her Three Daughters, Ages 3, 2 and 2 Months [View all]CountAllVotes
(20,854 posts)34. I believe you
The reason I believe you is because I once worked for the U.S. Army and yes, you are right. Most are paper pushers and few actually end up "behind the lines" so to speak.
As for the women, yes sadly, yes.
When I was working for them (c. 1980) if one of the women got pregnant they'd usually opt to abort and were told by they CO to "take care of it and get back to work" which is what most of them did.
I recall one woman that got pregnant that opted to have the child, all of the other cases of pregnancy that I can remember all ended in abortion.
The women screwed around a hell of a lot back at that time (pre-AIDS era) and I suppose it is the same still except now they charge for sex.
How sad is this anyway?
As for the woman that is the subject of this thread, not enough information to know why she did what she did and where is the father(s) of these now dead children? No one seemed to ask that question for some reason.

OP
It is a horrible story, but based on the info available, she may not have even finished

Those are FAR more likely possibilities than flashbacks from an Army career she did not have

Look at the photoshopped image - it adds an unrelated fetus in the womb pic to the story.

Adding an unrelated fetus in the womb pic to the photoshopped image isn't responsible, either.

Yes, and maybe the OP could provide some proof that she WAS sexually assaulted!

No - the photo of the fetus in the womb is not there. Your OP uses a photo op image

And just what evidence removed any doubt that this was caused by what you say caused it?
