How many men had to be sent home from the USS Eisenhower during its present deployment because they were pregnant? I believe that just about says it all concerning women in combat billets.
Regardless of when or where the Ike women became impregnated, the fact remains that they did, resulting in decreased ship's readiness and increased problems for an already heavily burdened commanding officer.
