34. I believe you

May 2014

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.

That's sort of jumping to conclusions davidn3600 May 2014 #2
Yeah, it is jumping to conclusions davidpdx May 2014 #6
What exactly in the account leads you to believe such a thing? 1000words May 2014 #3
I love internet psychiatrists! MADem May 2014 #4
Yes, reading the rest does put huge doubt into the assumption the OP made davidpdx May 2014 #7
It is a horrible story, but based on the info available, she may not have even finished MADem May 2014 #8
It's got to be devastating for the family davidpdx May 2014 #9
Sounds more like PasadenaTrudy May 2014 #18
Those are FAR more likely possibilities than flashbacks from an Army career she did not have MADem May 2014 #61
OK, Doc, so you've definitely ruled out postpartum depression? Brother Buzz May 2014 #5
In some women, postpartum depression can cause a psychotic break. Lex May 2014 #21

Look at the photoshopped image - it adds an unrelated fetus in the womb pic to the story. blm May 2014 #49
What a horrible story. Inkfreak May 2014 #15
No doubt in your mind, eh? MineralMan May 2014 #17
Adding an unrelated fetus in the womb pic to the photoshopped image isn't responsible, either. blm May 2014 #46

Probably the best way to describe someone who only makes it 3 months Lee-Lee May 2014 #28
Autocorrect, I assume. Sentence reads as if it should say 'formerly'. AtheistCrusader May 2014 #33
Yikes! H2O Man May 2014 #29
Yes, and maybe the OP could provide some proof that she WAS sexually assaulted! MoonRiver May 2014 #31
No, the OP couldn't do that, because there's no such evidence. MineralMan May 2014 #47
But, but, but he was so sure! MoonRiver May 2014 #60

You used a fetus in the womb for a photo of the child? Why? blm May 2014 #41
The photo is from Telemundo LA 951-Riverside May 2014 #42
No - the photo of the fetus in the womb is not there. Your OP uses a photo op image blm May 2014 #45
It's there look at the first link 951-Riverside May 2014 #48
Doesn't come up when clicked. The other photos do. blm May 2014 #51
They probably removed it from the page sometime after OP grabbed it. stevenleser May 2014 #56
With all the other photos, why grab that to show the 'murdered' children? blm May 2014 #57
Are you referring to the OP or Telemundo? stevenleser May 2014 #58
My money is on postpartum psychosis. Very sad. stevenleser May 2014 #43
