#1 I still recall the debate over maternity uniforms in the Army circa 1980s. After many annual reviews and refusal to create one, someone in JAG pointed out to the Chief of Staff of the Army, that with tens of thousands of troops in Europe at the time, if the balloon went up and any of these females were captured out of uniform, they could legitimately be shot as spies. Guess who's going to get blamed? Within days a special uniform review board approved the long sought maternity uniform.

Those who are old enough remember when females filled a auxiliary force (WAC, WAVES), that if a service member got pregnant, they were automatically given an honorable or general discharge. Today, they get to 'choose'. And yes too many use that to get out of dangers way or 'challenging' assignments. For males however, inflicting an injury to avoid 'duty' is still a courts martial offense. Equity my a$$.

#2 /\ Yes, WACS and WAVES, perfectly honorable avenues in which to serve one's country.
