Summary: As of November 4th, a new rule was enacted that prohibits "becoming nondeployable for reasons within the control of the soldier," which include "becoming pregnant or impregnating a soldier... resulting in the redeployment of the pregnant soldier." The exception is pregnancy from sexual assault. Maj. Gen. Cucolo commands 22,000 soldiers, of those 1,682 are women. He also stated that his female soldiers are "invaluable" and he wants to make sure the fulfill their deployment.
Opinion: If the men and women who are involved with each other then where is the protection. Pregnancy could have been avoided buy using safe sex. But for those few women that suffered from sexual assault im very sorry and its disappointing to see that our soldiers who fight for us can just violate the rights of a fellow soldier no matter the sex.
