This is but another example of "certain factions" of a government agency that has gone to the extreme, especially on this particular case. Jeez--the woman was breast feeding, what else does one expect? Couldn't they have waited??

FORT DRUM, N.Y. -- An Army panel recommended yesterday a general
discharge for a soldier who was court-martialed for refusing to take
the anthrax vaccine while breast-feeding her baby.
The three-member Army Administrative Separation Board at Fort Drum
reached its decision regarding Private Rhonda Hazley's fate after
considering testimony and written evidence during a seven-hour
hearing.
Hazley, a unit postal clerk, was convicted at a summary court-martial
in March of disobeying orders. She served 14 days in jail and was
demoted three grades in rank to private.
Hazley, a 36-year-old single mother of four from East Dublin, Ga.,
refused the shot because she was breast-feeding and was concerned
about the health risks to the child.
