@Karly: these women aren't "flaunting" their breasts! They're feeding their infants. Breastfeeding is not sexually driven; when your baby is hungry, you feed it, and that's exactly what these women are doing. Good for them for putting their children first!
Oh and what kind of Mum are you? A widow mom who raised 4 kids on her own. All went to college and the last child is an honor student. Not bad for no breast milk!!!!!
My husband, brothers, dad, niece, all Military.
I was a letter carrier, a government job. Could you see me walking down the street with a mail sack and breast feeding? By the way, I wasn't working there with my first two children. Found a nice quiet room to feed my babies. The point is these women had to of known the rules before hand. They chose to go ahead and have a family. They weren't denied that. But to breast feed in uniform, in public, they broke the rules. That is disrespectful to this country. If they wanted to change things, there's other ways, that was not the way.
@Debbie L. Ohio: If your employer was unfriendly to lactating mothers then you need to fight for better treatment. I worked at General Electric for 10 years, had 3 kids, all of whom creched in the office building. I breast fed all my kids until they were a year old.
I could never do what you did, deny my babies breastfeeding or abandon my toddlers with a baby sitter just to go to work. Hell, I would rather quit my job that ever do that.
I thought this was about Military women, who probably got pregnant and the government, your tax dollars paid for the birth. Then they are giving the Military the middle finger going against their rules! I believe in women breast feeding their children. I don't believe in going against Military rules. I have plenty of Military family to know this was an absolute no no.
