Are there not private clinics that will do this function?

Of course. But it would not be a biggie to send personnel to base to

collect samples before deployment. Egg collection is a more

complicated matter that entails the use of hormones that may affect

performance, libido, and maybe even pheremones that needs to be

researched. But certainly women should be given the opportunity if at

all possible.

 

The other thing it would do, is have a sperm sample that would prove a

soldier was, or was not, a rapist. Those who mite be inclined to

commit rape would be seriously deterred.

 

I am somewhat bemused that the administration, which says it wants to

support the troops has not already pushed for this. Had Cindy Sheehan

still had some hope of grandchildren, she would not have been nearly

so motivated to make trouble for them. And innumerable other women

now, aware of Mrs Sheehan, would not now be trying to dissuade sons

from signing up. Why didnt the Bush administration think of this?

 

The same goes for military widows. Some, I'm sure would glad to loose

the husband in the war if they could still have his sons- and the VA

benefits- without him. But this token of support for "family values"

not already being at least offered by the system wanting to "stay the

course", is curious.
