not in a very long time, if ever. no one joins the military without the very basic understanding they are joining an organization that is meant for war.

I don't have a problem with sending women into combat. I do have a problem with sending new mothers into combat. Unless you think that morale is so bad that women will be deliberately getting pregnant to avoid call up (which they can do anyway), I don't think delaying the deployment of the mother of a 1-year-old would be wrong.
As for 'basic understanding', well,
some recruiters can deal with that.
