Personally I think that there should be no single parents in the services.The child/ren should seen to come first if they only have one parent to care for them.

Also although the services are a terrific career opportunity they really cannot be viewed as other professions are.The elements of risk must make the armed forces a special case in such cases.
Indeed. It should also be worth noting that she got pregnant several years after joining the army. So she should bear the responsibility in bringing a child into that situation, not the armed services. Stupidly, the courts disagree.

She's already won that.

Its ludicrous to claim racial discrimination because armed services won't bend and break immigration rules to bring in soldiers' family members.
