Seems like making sure males were sterilized would be easier and more productive.  That's certainly going to cut down on the number of enlisted knocking up a local and having to give up on their "muscle car" at 16% interest to start raising a family.

No you don't. Seaman Jones can knock up half the women in Mayport if he wants. He can still walk up that gangplank when it's time to deploy.

Okay, how about this instead: any service member who gets pregnant gets a BCD for dereliction of duty. Male, female, whatever, grow a baby in your body, bye-bye and forget about those sweet vet bennies.

That's right, since 'men' can get pregnant too, or whatever.  It's only fair.

You have obviously never dealt with family issues on active duty...
"Hey, Sarge, I need to":
Take my wife to an appointment
Take my kid to an appointment
Pick up my kid from school because s/he is sick
Watch the kids because my wife is sick
Leave early because my kid is in a play/recital/pageant at school
Watch my kids because school is closed for weather and my wife has to go to work
Deploy late because my kid is being born a month after we get downrange
Go back early/schedule R&R leave for X month because my kid is being born
Stay on Rear-D because my kid has XX medical condition and my wife can't deal with it on her own
Go back early/stay on Rear-D because my wife disappeared with my kids and I have to go find them

All of those are real-world examples that I, or my peers, have dealt with. While you may have this vision of active duty servicemembers all being single, gung-ho combat killers, the reality is far different. As soon as you start in with the "deal with it on your own time, not the Army's time!", then phone calls to the Chaplain start being made, IG complaints start being made, Congressional investigations start getting initiated, and it turns into a shitshow, especially since the Army is supposed to be all family-friendly now. This is why imposing a blanket ban on female servicemembers getting pregnant would not work. Imposing a blanket ban on getting married and/or having children also would not work, as this is not the 1950's. As soon as Joe gets told that he cannot marry Suzie Stripper, he's either going to A) marry her anyway and hope that the CoC does not find out, or B) simply not re-enlist, and ETS when his time is up. If he chooses A, at some point you are going to be escorting him to Trial Defense for his Court Martial, and if he chooses B, you are one (or more) Soldiers light to accomplish the mission.

I was a defense attorney at a military base with some highly-deployed service/support units.  I represented a lot of single parents who were notified of their 2d or 3d deployment, and the person in their family care plan who would take the kid said "no way, not watching your kid again for 6 months." That's not necessarily the soldier's fault, and sometimes I had to go to great lengths to explain to dumbass young commanders "she had a valid family care plan, she successfully executed it once, it's not her fault the caregiver (who said "sure, I'll watch your kids again") is now refusing to do it again."  So I worked a number of deals to keep the soldier on rear-detachment duty stateside with a Bar To Re-enlistment until their ETS date.

The number of young dumbass commanders who wanted to court-martial a soldier because her parents refused to watch their grandchild a 2d or 3d time was staggering.

Now, should we really have a policy where an unmarried female soldier can get pregnant and remain on active duty, missing out on deployments? That's a different policy question.  I am not in favor of it; national security and force readiness should outweigh the social-services/jobs-program aspect of military life.

If both husband and wife, or a single mother or father are in the service, then a Family Care Plan has to be established in order to stay in the military.

The plan will determine a legal guardian for the child.  If a female service member gets pregnant, she has 8 months after birth to get back to deployable status or will be discharged.

Now does it always happen that way????  what do you think?
