British female soldiers getting pregnant in Iraq and Afghanistan - Digital Journal: Your News Network
US Army covers up an ‘embarrassment’ (Pregnancies)
It happens routinely enough to be considered a problem on many fronts. It causes sexual tension, it often involves married men who have wives back home, and it's a major distraction. I can't imagine a guy being on the battlefield worrying about the women he's sleeping with who is also on the battlefield.
It's just ridiculous and unnecessary. It has no business on the battlefield and it's commonplace enough that the repercussions of the behavior both on the home front and on the battlefield are too significant to ignore.
If I am not missing anything, it is 102 British women pregnant out of 5600 women deployed, or 1.8 %. I don't consider that a significant problem.
