More and more it looks like breastfeeding is critical to optimal childhood development; disease resistance benefits have been known for years, but there are other benefits that aren't as well known. Sadly, this is an area where military policy will need to play catch up. You can't have female career soldiers without making concessions for the biological demands of motherhood.

I wish everyone would see the War Tapes because just about everyone in the film is pro-Bush and pro-war and yet they still come away from the war not knowing exactly what they were doing in Iraq. Some have the best intentions of protecting our county and some simply need to release pent up aggression. I'm very suspicious of this story about both parents of a newborn ending up in Iraq. I don't believe our government is that screwed up!

I don't know if it's gotten to legal matters yet (or if it will), but I would have to think that would bring an exemption... Granted I'm not a lawyer though...
