SAVANNAH, Ga. – A single-mom soldier who says she refused to deploy to Afghanistan because she had no family able to care for her young son will be discharged from the military instead of facing a court-martial, the Army said Thursday.

Spc. Alexis Hutchinson, an Army cook stationed at Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah, was arrested in November after skipping her unit's deployment flight. Hutchinson, 21, said she couldn't leave her son because her mother had backed out of plans to keep the child a few days before the soldier's scheduled departure.

The Army filed criminal charges last month against Hutchinson of Oakland, Calif., but a general at neighboring Fort Stewart chose to settle the case by granting her an administrative discharge rather than try her in a military court.

Obviously she should have relied upon the government to raise her child for her - is that the course you would have preferred Phony?

How is this Feminazism?!?!? Who is supposed to take care of her kid? Should she just leave the boy alone or drop him off at an orphanage? A woman taking responsibility of her child's care is now feminism? Man, Phony, you really have excrement for brains!

I have to agree with Phony to some degree. The woman showed no personal responsibility in getting knocked up by some dude and having a baby out of wedlock while she was serving her country. And then there's this:

The decision still carries consequences for Hutchinson. She is being demoted in rank to private and will lose benefits afforded to military service members and veterans, Fort Stewart spokesman Kevin Larson said.
Larson said the Army had evidence that Hutchinson, regardless of her family situation, would have resisted deploying ``by any means.'' He said commanders decided a court-martial would be too disruptive to the Army, requiring soldiers now in Afghanistan to return to the U.S. to testify.
``This case wasn't about a soldier having to choose between her duty to the nation and her family,'' Larson said. ``There is evidence both from Pvt. Hutchinson and her fellow soldiers to indicate she had no intentions of deploying.''

The difference is that if a male soldier is just as irresponsible & gets a woman knocked up out of wedlock while serving, he doesn't get stuck with the baby...The female soldier does...So women pay a higher price for being irresponsible bc they are the ones that carry the baby.

So men are just anonymous sperm donors, with no personal responsibility for their choices? Rolling Eyes
