Take this, Elizabeth Warren! Warren bragged about nursing during her bar exams, but how about these two soldiers nursing in uniform? And one of them has twins! The only question is, with all the strict rules about what you can and cannot do in a uniform of the United States military, how is that bureaucrats forgot to say, “You may not whip out a breast and feed an infant while sitting on a park bench wearing your uniform?”

I got boobs and I like men, so I am not going gaga or gugu for this situation, I hope though that at the age of 3 they are no longer feeding their children that way.
They are I believe, both Airmen (I hope that's what they call females in the Air Force), so no Kimmy you won't have to worry about that whole feeding at three thing. You see something about being in the miilitary (active) or being a Veteran causes persons to have an abundance of common sense for the most part.
When I was in the Air Force (Been out for 25 years) the ranks were Airman Basic, Airman, Airman 1st Class, Senior Airmen, then the standard NCO designations, (Sgt, etc).
That is why they called everyone below the rank of Sgt, Airman, it was for conformity and ease of address, (Airman Smith, Airman Jones, Sgt Brown, Sgt Black, etc).
Looks like PC has gotten the better of even the military.
BTW, from what I understand, they have done away with the Senior Airman rank, it used to be a transition period from Airman to NCO. Still E-4 and 3 stripes, but the star in the chevrons was not highlighted.
i heard airwoman's been tried in U.S.A.F. but not sticking.. But its in wider use in R.A.F.
Those soldiers are our country and those babies are over half the population, so under O'numbnutz, this should be fine, living off of the gubmit teet.
Liberals have a need to destroy tradition. Breastfeeding while in uniform is symbolically neutering the military.
Who could really make breastfeeding a cause when women have been breastfeeding since before Moses wore short pants.
It's just their inner malcontent expressing itself.
Yea, but the one on the right is real cute!
Now, by "the one on the right" do you mean the woman on the right, or... something else?
The cute dark haired woman on the right.
Oh. I thought maybe you were some sort of savant and could discern a telling difference between the left one and the right one.
That would have been impressive. I was ready to annoint you Boob Whisperer. There might have been a TV show in your future.
I'm the SMALL Boob savant.
Wow... (straight) men are boobs... it is too easy.
LOL straight men AND boobs I meant... but I was probably not wrong there LOL
You weren't wrong and when it comes to boobs we don't care call us whatever we just love 'em.
I think what you're witnessing here is the great inherent practicality of men, that's all. We're thinking, "Gee, if I shared a foxhole with one of these women, I wouldn't have to worry about running out of MREs."
And by foxhole I mean... oh never mind.
I am sure Elizabeth will now claim she was in the Army and breast fed her kids while in combat in crazywokkiestan, all while manning a machine gun and defending us from the hordes of hostile cave men. Then she'll "whip out" her bronze star and purple heart. Right after she'll do a rain dance while cooking spam.
She should do that in Afghanistan. All the Al Quedas would have to kill themselves after seen strange hooters.
They don't look all that strange to me. Actually, kind of nice.
the problem is western civ got weird about a completely natural process, and unwinding that gets tricky
Immersion therapy?
LOL nice.. and yes, good plan
My wife nursed 6 babies (yes all ours, in case that's not clear), including in public places, but ALWAYS had a little blanket or spread to cover herself up. You never would have known what was going on. She didn't just hang 'em out like the sarge is doing up there. I agree, that verges on being improper, especially in uniform. It IS like taking a leak, not that there's anything wrong with it, it's just it's something you keep to yourself.
I'm a firm (some pun intended) believer in the benefits of mother's milk. And these days there are some very good ways to keep it all on the DL.

COOL! Women that properly managed their uterus'!
Amazingly enough, they found a way to not make a baby interrupt their career, and at least one of the babies in question is a girl, so no selective abortions either!
selective abortions
Remember how Sophie's choice was so heart wrenching?
Times sure have changed.
Actually, I never saw Spophie's Choice. I really wasn't interested.
Yeah, the movie isn't great but the actual choice was when the Nazi told Meryl Streep's Sophie that only one child could live. She picked the boy and let her daughter go to the gas chamber. Soul searing scene. Now, in the enlightened progressive era it is fine to execute your daughter in favor of a son you might have later.
Well, in Jewish culture, sons are more prized than daughters, so her choice was inevitable. However, that brings up the question, was Sophie a progressive, or were the Nazi's?
" was Sophie a profressive , or were the Nazi's "
DAMM GOOD QUESTION !!!! , but we all know the answer .
LOL! I thought I did the typo!
She wasn't Jewish. She was sent to the camps for smuggling food. The book never explains why specifically she chose her son over her daughter.
Never read the book. In the movie there was some explanation that as a boy, he would be "stronger" and more able to withstand the situation they were in and therefore survive and be able to have a life AFTER the war, of course he died so that theory never came to fruition. Considering that I know great number of WOMEN holocaust survivors whereas Fathers and brothers died all around them from overwork and starvation, I think her mentality was warped, regardless I would like to think I would have said kill us all or kill me (knowing that perhaps my children wouldn't survive long anyway). It was a very difficult scene to watch, the interesting thing was to imagine that many parents had to make those choices.
That's what I get for not reading the book or watching the movie!
OK, now I'm positive that there is something wrong with me..........
I'm getting excited. Honey? Sweetheart? Can we have another baby?
There's nothing wrong with you unless you shove the babies out of the way on your way to nirvana.
Now that's true service.
I always wondered why there are two. For twins. Ooohhhhh!
Pretty sure it's because the human body (and that of most any mammal) is fairly symmetrical.
That, and you wouldn't want the husband to go thirsty would you?
As far as the video goes; provided they aren't whipping them out right in someone's face and squirting a general in the eye with some milk, who cares?
