So should we rush mother-and-baby back home to the United Kingdom?
I say no! Think about it; she’s going to be out patrolling all day, in hot dusty conditions, she’ll be up half-the-night feeding junior (when she isn’t being woken-up by jets taking off)…
…and she’s got a machine-gun! If I were the Taliban I steer well-clear of that British base! :diablo:
The only revelation left…..is Prince Harry the father? :rolleyes:

A rather unfair generalisation, I feel.
That said, my son would probably understand your generalisation and probably agree, but I happen to know there are some very bright cookies indeed in his regiment who joined up “just for the experience”, and they are far from “intellectualy challenged” and not in the officer elite. My son is not exactly a slouch, either.

So much for the quality of pre-deployment physical exams….:)
Well this is the army, a unit not overly well known for its intellectuals.

Alan….it happens! I think there was even a TV series “I didn’t realise I was pregnant!”
Well, I’m only going by what a doctor said when this subject came up a few years ago.
He reckoned it was virtually impossible for a woman to get to a stage where she was about to give birth,
without knowing. She may be in denial, perhaps for whatever reason not wanting to believe it, but she
would definitely know.
I wonder how much they got paid for going on that TV programme ?

My son just commented that when he was under incoming RPG and small arms fire from the Taliban he almost gave birth, several times.:D

Is she trying to insult everyone’s intelligence ?

When she was on display was it “Soldier, front and placenta!”

I’d almost certainly give birth if people were shooting at me. But it would be small, brown and smelly 😮
