I feel ridiculously cool
Military mom ‘proud’ of breast-feeding in uniform, despite criticism
National pride, or disgrace? A photo gone viral of two servicewomen breast-feeding their children while in uniform has added a new layer to the debate over nursing in public.If you think this is a “disgrace”, just quit following me now.
Wow. People are idiots.
“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.”
The comments on this article remind me why I try to stay away from military culture as much as I can. Ugh. Can I punch something now?
I would just like to point out that I don’t want anyone to openly breast feed in public. By all means, do it and over it up.
