#3 ...not likely B. Pregnancy is all too often used to get out of the theater of operations. Remember last year or so when the Commander in Iraq threaten courts martial for females getting preggy [as male soldiers/grunts were punished for thousands of years for 'self inflicted' wounds or disability to avoid combat or hardship] creating the highly expected righteous political fire storms in the Beltway. Its one of the unspoken politically incorrect slow burning fuses in the service that generates animosity and highlights the PC higher ups divergence from the ranks.

BP, actually this came to my mind.
