(23,272 posts)You seem to be implying they're simply dropping their responsibilities and breastfeeding. That's a pretty big slam to female soldiers who are certainly not doing that. They and the military have obviously figured out how to work around this since its already being done and your "concern" is moot.
Secondly, you don't get to decide how working parents get to raise their children, even military families. The people who sign up understand the requirements for childcare. The military and these families have worked all of this out obviously and nobody seems to be complaining (except for those with seriously antiquated notions).
Lastly, once you are in the military, you are in and can be recalled at any time. So you are basically agreeing with southernyankeebelle that no soldier should ever have children. You can't simply "leave". Furthermore, you can be recalled at any time.
