Comments on: Soldier Jailed For Refusing To Leave Her Infant Son http://www.kidglue.com/2009/11/17/soldier-jailed-for-refusing-to-leave-her-infant-son/ Fri, 10 Feb 2012 07:28:00 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Minerva http://www.kidglue.com/2009/11/17/soldier-jailed-for-refusing-to-leave-her-infant-son/comment-page-1/#comment-3712 Minerva Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:34:40 +0000 http://www.kidglue.com/?p=15464#comment-3712 "...clearly, they value the bonds of parenthood as well." I'm sorry, but who wrote that sentence?? Clearly it was someone who has not served in the United States Army. I'm a veteran of the United States Army and I can tell you from experience that if Hutchinson did show up for deployment without someone to take care of her infant son, not only would the military have still deployed her, but they DEFINITELY would have served her with an Article 15 PUNISHMENT for not having a suitable "care plan" in place for her son. It's Army regulation, and the US Army is not in the business of compassion (what do civilians expect, anyway??). They're in the business of war. Plain and simple. They couldn't care less about separating families. “…clearly, they value the bonds of parenthood as well.”
