I don't think delaying the deployment of the mother of a 1-year-old would be wrong.

rich, i'm fine with that as long as the exact same rules apply to men as they do women. if a woman in a specific billet doesn't deploy because of a child under a certain age, why should a man, who also has a child have to deploy? i'm not trying to be a jerk about it, but equality means equality - all the time, not just when it sounds good.
and as far as the recruiter goes? ya got me. you found a story on antiwar blog that talks about a recruiter who did not do a good job explaining the possibility for deployments. if i start a blog and give my testimony of the literally thousands of well done recruiting pitches i've heard over the last 14 years, would that sway anybody? or is it just easy to believe anything that points to an evil conspiracy to ensnare our children?
Rich - i know stupid stuff happens, there is no denying it, but what you are focusing on is not the normal day to day operation of the average military unit.
tw - as usual - thanks for your insight.
