4 Aussie Female Soldiers, 100 Brits In ME Pregnant And Sent Home
FOUR female troops have been sent home from the Middle East after getting pregnant.All female soldiers are pregnancy tested before they leave Australia and fraternisation is banned on operations, but that didn't stop the four from finding a way to conceive. The Australian Defence Force said all troops on overseas duty were counselled about safe sex and contraception before they left Australia and they would be doubly reminded of those principles in future. Australian troops are much better behaved than their British counterparts - last year more than 100 British female soldiers were sent home for being unable to say no to a man in uniform. Defence did not say if any of the pregnancies had actually occurred on operations. "It is, however, possible that they could fall pregnant in the period immediately prior to departure or while on mid-deployment leave and, if this is the case, they will be returned to Australia," a Defence spokesman said.
