The title is derived from something I told a friend when he wanted to visit Mississippi from Wisconsin……basically the sign would say Welcome and set your watch back 50 yrs…….I n case your are confused my state is still living in the pre-civil rights era…..

When I first heard this story it was the single thing I thought of……..

The U.S. military has dropped a controversial rule that called for punishing soldiers in northern Iraq for becoming pregnant or impregnating another soldier.

Maj. Gen. Anthony Cucolo created the rule about pregnancy, covering 22,000 people under his command in northern Iraq, including 1,682 women.

It prohibited “becoming nondeployable for reasons within the control of the soldier,” including “becoming pregnant or impregnating a soldier … resulting in the redeployment of the pregnant soldier.”

While violation of any rules in the general order could lead to court-martial, Cucolo insisted that he never intended such a drastic punishment for pregnancy.

All units have a general order that outlines a code of conduct. Commanders have been allowed to add to those rules but not allowed to make the rules any more lax.

In all cases, the women were sent back to the United States for medical care, as is military policy. Each has the right to submit a letter in her own defense to be included in her file.

Of the men involved, three were reprimanded, Cucolo said. One, a sergeant, was given a more severe punishment of a written reprimand in his permanent file because he fraternized with a subordinate and committed adultery. A letter in the permanent file can affect a person’s career because it is evaluated when a service member is considered for promotion.

Let me see if I have this right……(this is sarcasm…in case there was any confusion)

The men got a whack on their pee pee and the women could have been up for a court martial?

You have come a long way, baby………When this general got back to his office on Monday….Obama should have a note on his desk that says “I accept your resignation”….

This is the 21st century there is NO room for this mental midget……
