What’s Wrong With America: Part 1- Unwed Soldier Mom Refuses Deployment

Perfect example of what pisses me off about the irresponsibility of too many people in America.  Let’s take a qucik look at the case of Alexis Hutchinson, an Army cook who refused deployment:

• 21 years old.  Nothing wrong with that.  We were all 21 at one time.  Or will be.  unless you die early
• In the military since 2007.  Good for her.  Stable, honest work.
• Has a ten month old son… hey, what?
• Not married.  Really?  You don’t say. 
• No contact with the father.  A shocker, right?
• Grandmother can’t take care of the infant because she has too much on her plate already.
• So… Alexis skips out on being deployed, claiming she can’t find anyone to take care of her kid.

This whole thing sickens me.  Makes me absolutely ill.  Just another sign of irresponsibility of Americans and the break down of any sort of family and moral systems.  Hey, bitch, you’re enlisted.  in the military. With responsibilities that you know may see you out of the country for a year or two.  Yet you decide to get pregnant.  You know what?  It’s easier to catch a cold than get pregnant.  You know how you don’t get pregnant?  Keep your goddamn legs closed!  It would be one thing if she were married.  If she had a stable family to care for the child, even being young as she is.  But this irresponsible woman decides to get pregnant by a man whom I am guessing she probably never had any intention of marrying, and then expects to get leniency when she skips out on her duty to care for the child.  Hey, bitch, how about not getting pregnant while you’re single and enlisted.  How about you act like a responsible member of society and not a goddamn burden.  How about you stop making excuses and get your ass where its supposed to be.  You made a committment to the US military long before you decided it was a good idea to become an unwed mother with no father to raise your child.

Young people today… I don’t know what the hell has gone so wrong that being an unwed mother is considered acceptible.  I’m 32, my wife is 30, and its damn difficult to raise children, even when you have strong support from family.  And here you have a kid, and yes, today, 2o years old is a kid, enlisted in the military, getting pregnant and not giving it a second thought.  And I don’t want to hear that it may have been an accident.  That maybe birth control failed.  That maybe a condom broke.  Even if it were an accident and not pure recklessness (unprotected sex), there is no excuse.  If you are in the military, if you are in the military, if you have no one to care for a child while you are halfway across the world, then maybe, just maybe, you shouldn’t even take the risk of getting pregnant and keep your jeans zippered up.

It’s people like this that really make me sad for the future of America.  Just selfish, stupid behavior.  No concept of responsibility or of consequences.  No fucking brains, just excuses.  And there is no excuse for an unwed 20 year old who is in the military to go out and get pregnant.  None.  She made her bed, and now she has to lie in it.  She made poor choices, and guess what?  She has to live with the consequences, like it or not.  I hope the military sticks her kid in foster care and ships this woman off to war where she belongs.  Where she made a commitment to be.

Is this callous?  Sure as hell is.  But I’m sick and tired of people not taking responsibility for their actions.  You want to be a mommy at the ripe young age of 20 or 21,  get married first.  (Why the hell is it so hard to wait to have children until you’re married in this country, anyway?!)  And for god’s sake, don’t enlist in the military.
