Do you support Military women breastfeeding in uniform?
What guy wouldnt?
http://moms.today.msnbc.msn.com/_new...criticism?lite Is breast-feeding while in uniform conduct unbecoming to a military mom? The debate over nursing in public got a new layer recently, when photos taken on an Air Force base began to circulate online. In the series of tasteful professional photos showing beaming moms as they nurse their kids, one jumps out: the photo of two servicewomen with their uniform shirts unbuttoned and hiked up to breast-feed. "A lot of people are saying it's a disgrace to the uniform. They're comparing it to urinating and defecating [while in uniform]," says Crystal Scott, a military spouse who started Mom2Mom in January as a breast-feeding support group for military moms and "anyone related to the base" at Fairchild AFB outside Spokane, Wash. "It's extremely upsetting. Defecating in public is illegal. Breast-feeding is not." It was Scott's idea to ask photographer Brynja Sigurdardottir to take photos of real-life breast-feeding moms to create posters for National Breastfeeding Awareness Month in August. One of the moms photographed in uniform, Terran Echegoyen-McCabe, breast-feeds her 10-month-old twin girls on her lunch breaks during drill weekends as a member of the Air National Guard. "I have breast-fed in our lobby, in my car, in the park ... and I pump, usually in the locker room," she says. "I'm proud to be wearing a uniform while breast-feeding. I'm proud of the photo and I hope it encourages other women to know they can breast-feed whether they're active duty, guard or civilian." She said she's surprised by the reaction to the photos, which also feature her friend Christina Luna, because it never occurred to her that breast-feeding in uniform would cause such a stir. "There isn't a policy saying we can or cannot breast-feed in uniform," Echegoyen-McCabe says. "I think it's something that every military mom who is breast-feeding has done. ... I think we do need to be able to breast-feed in uniform and be protected." The Air Force has no policy specifically addressing breast-feeding in uniform, according to Air Force spokesperson Captain Rose Richeson, who added, "Airmen should be mindful of their dress and appearance and present a professional image at all times while in uniform." |

personally, I think it it's disturbing when a woman pops her titty out to feed her newborn in public. It's more of deep seeded thing with me , because when I was 8 years old my next door neighbor's wife would pop her breast out and feed their baby when she opened the door to me when I was doing house to house cub scout shit to sell magazines/candy bars ect....

Would you object to having your dinner on the toilet? How about in a public toilet that is probably not as sanitary as your own home? I don't blame any woman for bypassing that option of exposing her infant to who knows what. Maybe places do have nursing rooms, other than the restroom, but they must be rare...or I haven't seen them anyway.

You aren't supposed to even unvelcro your top strap while in (ARMY) uniform. Airforce and Navy have always been more liberal with their uniform codes...

While underway in the Navy we performed Broadway and historical musicals in full costume. You should have seen our Pirates Of Penzance. It was a thing of beauty.

While I don't object to women breast feeding in public, this does bother me a bit. These women are in the US military for christ sakes. They are representing America. Is this the image you think our potential enemies should see?
When you take the oath, you are, and should be held to a higher standard. Breast feeding your kid while in uniform in public should not be tolerated. What they do in plain clothes is their own buisness. |

****in A this... I can't think of anything else that would intimidate our "Terror" enemies more than the thought of getting killed by a milk laden baby momma with exposed tits and automatic weapons.... Our gender equality scares the **** out of them...

Titahys. Love them.
Nothing more natural than a mother breast-feeding her baby, and me gawking at them while they're doing it......
