You'll find that many soldiers have no idea what's going on in the world until they've been OUT of the military a good while. All you know of adulthood you've learned from the military. You think like them because that's all you know. After you get out, you'll learn more than "what is the military reg on this?"

This matter with the young mother is a matter of public policy, which civilians, not military, set. The military's job is obey us, not tell us how they intend to be, and we'd better like it. No, you and your bosses had better listen to what the civilians think about this issue, because we don't agree with you, and we write your paycheck.
