Military moms 'proud' of breast-feeding in uniform, despite criticism

[GoVegan]

When I was in the army we loved sneaking over to the air force base to eat. They accepted our meal cards and the food was 10 times better.

This country is so ****ing stupid. We have some ****ed up ideas in our culture. Really? A woman feeding her baby offends people? Never understood that. Same as pissing and shitting? Only in America.

First of all, hey when a baby needs to eat a baby needs to eat. Trust me, most would rather a woman pop it out for the kid than hear that kid scream bloody murder for the duration of time till a private place can be found for the child to be fed.

I just realized that these girls are in the air force, not the army. The airforce is all soft anyways, breastfeeding seems like a natural choice, just like it is the natural choice to choose the one on the right.

... I love how them being in the airforce changed your opinion right around :-)

But personally I don't give damn, it's really their choice IMO - and as long as they aren't currently working(I mean, if she was actually doing a check up on one of the planes whilst breastfeeding it would be wrong) it's alright in my book.

Also.. I like the honkers on the one to the left, but the one on the right seems more caring

They make me want to say, "Hey mother, want another?"

Yeah because I have such a reputation for my decorum and couth...

Notice that the kid on the Time magazine cover is wearing camo pants! Could there be a military connection there

Breast feeding...YES!!! While in uniform??? HELL NO! I remember having to walk on my husbands left side so he could salute and there was no way he could help me with the baby stroller while in uniform. His backpack and sunglasses and all accessories have to be military compliant..sorry but a baby attached to a boob does not comply with the tactical dress code. What's next?? Female police officers feeding while on duty in uniform, in their cruisers?? Uniform = on-duty..change to feed or invest in a breastpump! Jesus!

Sounds like a response based on bitterness. Just saying...
