Women in the British Army in Afghanistan are getting pregnant at an alarming rate. So much so that the Ministry of Defence has launched a campaign to encourage female soldiers to carry condoms. The Army's official magazine Soldier warns the women that there are about 50 men to every woman so for heavens sake, wear a condom.
Officially there is a no-sex rule at the front in a war zone but naturally, nature will take its course. Last year 102 British servicewomen were flown out of Iraq and 31 sent home from Afghanistan. Over 100 pregnancy tests have been shipped to the war zone.
Fifty men to one woman? Now that's enough to make any girl join the Army.
