Good Lord, so many morons out there! It is obvious her husband came back for a break during his tour!! Almost ALL soldiers get that privilege, regardless of the branch of the military they serve in. My boyfriend came home from Iraq for a 2-week break halfway through his tour. Does anyone out there REALLY think she’d be displaying her belly like this otherwise?!?! There’s some serious inbreeding going on with some of you people. I can only hope you’re just joking….

Some of you are just retarded.

My husband’s nephew is an Army soldier in Afghanistan who came home for R&R last summer, and my in-laws got the call about a month after he went back to “Hell” that his wife was prego.

Some of y’all just just too quick to judge.

Actually, we have advanced that far. Embryos are frozen when they are only a few cells, around 8, and can be unfrozen and implanted in the mother safely.

By: Crystal

Had the embryos FROZEN? Have we really advanced so far in science and medicine that we can freeze live-unborn humans and then thaw them out without killing them?

Damn how did I miss THAT?

Anyway, sometimes people in the military/navy/etc are allowed to return home once or twice a year while serving so its not impossible for the child to be his if he was say… visiting on Christmas and returning in June.

Also, is it not possible this particular soldier joined the war after it had already begun? He could have served up to 9 months that way.

Or maybe she is really welcoming home her Daddy and showing off she got pounded while he was over there suffering.

Not a fail….many possibilities. The most probable one is that the baby was conceived during the soldiers midterm leave.

Kendra Kaplan, 5 months pregnant, watches as her husband Staff Sgt. Joshua Kaplan and fellow U.S. Army soldiers arrive on August 18, 2009 in Fort Carson, Colorado. She had brought a sealed envelope with an ultrasound, so that they could learn the baby’s gender together upon Joshua’s arrival. The Kaplans will be having a baby boy, concieved during Joshua’s mid-term leave in March. Approximately 575 soldiers from the 2nd Brigade Combat team from the 4th Infantry Division returned Tuesday following a 12 month deployment to Iraq. At lower left is their son Ayden, 3.

1. There’s nothing that shows she is that child’s mother. That woman’s husband could have been gone for less than 9 months.

2. Maybe they tried unsuccessfully to have a child before he left, so maybe she got in-vitro while he was gone. And that would be the ultimate welcome home present.

okay so im glad yall are trying to make military wives look like total sluts, for one i am a military wife so i know what im talking about and for two, when they do long tours like that they get r&r when they get to come home like half way, so she could very easly be 6 months pregnant so you need to think about this stuff before you try making us look bad. thanks

U know soldiers get to come home part of the way through a deployment… this whole thing is a fail.

I think this is flippin hilarious, but I’m not gonna pass judgement simply because I am a military wife and I live right off an Army base, so I know from personal knowledge that most soldiers get 2 weeks R&R anywhere between 3-9 months after they deploy. I actually know a lady who got pregnant with her 2nd set of triplets (>.< Holy cow, six kids in less than five years!) while her husband was on R&R and she was about 7 1/2 months along when he came home again. Just sayin, don't be too judgemental.

Whoever made this must not think of R&R…when a lot of women get pregnant when the husbands come home on a 2 week leave from overseas. Duh.

By: Craig

Craig — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 04:38:21 +0000

just because it is called midtour r&r doesnt mean it is in the exact middle of the tour. use some common sense. a unit will deploy together and they cant take leave together at the same time so they let a certain number of guys go at a time that is spread out throughout the tour. your all a bunch of retards

By: Craig

Craig — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 04:32:25 +0000

if your tour is less than a year, you dont get leave. if it is a year you get fifteen days. if it is 15 months, then you get eighteen days of leave. annoying when people that dont know what they are talking about assume the worst

Ummm, rather than being jealous of the Air Force, how about joining it? I was in the Air Force and had Army guys coming up to me all the time telling me how lucky I was and trying to make me feel guilty. My answer to them, at the recruiters office there were multiple doors with multiple military branches; no one told you to take the Army door but yourself.

Um, Duh. Its and R and R baby. Thats the 3 weeks sometime during thier tour that they get to come home. I got prego with our 2nd during my husband’s r and r and was 6 moonths prego when he got home. Damn, some of you guys are so retarded.

By: creepymike

wow.. .looks like a battle buddies wife.. then again, we do get 15 DAYS HOME LEAVE WHEN WE GO TO IRAQ DUMBSHITS…. and funny part is.. most units only get SIX MONTHS IN IRAQ……

Look, this article is very fitting on failblog and I can see how it could be construed as being humorous to some. That being said, after serving as a Platoon Leader in Iraq, I don’t find this funny at all. I may be biased about this. There IS optional two week leave for soldiers serving a period of more than 6 months in Iraq and we had many soldiers come back as fathers-to-be. Although some units don’t get the optional two week leave most due and this is the most plausible reason for her pregnancy. I don’t find this funny because spousal infidelity is a very real problem for soldiers serving overseas. Many of my soldiers were destroyed emotionally and wrecked financially as their spouse, sometimes openly, ran around with another man. Soldier had little or no recourse. Even in the best marriages, every soldier wonders about his wife’s fidelity but accepts there is little he can do if she is unfaithful. So, I would like to assume that this is a happy reunion with no scandals involved. Infidelity may be humorous to some of you but it is tragic to those involved.

I saw this in person. This mom was at the homecoming back in August at the post we are stationed at. My husband came home same day, same group of soldiers. I saw her and the kid there and was a little surprised that she stood in a gym of 600 people with her belly showing, but at least she was in shape!! and the news crews loved it!!! And yes, I’m sure that she got pregnant when her hubby was home on R&R.

During a twelve month deployment military members are given 2 weeks for rest and relaxation when they can return home at about the halfway point. It is totally plausible that his wife is not a whore and is having his baby.

By: Claire

Claire — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 19:37:10 +0000

OMFG! they’re not even ruining it though! they are just trying to get all of the morons to stop falsely accusing military wives of being unfaithful!

By: Claire

Claire — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 19:28:36 +0000

We don’t even know if that’s his wife, it could be his daughter or someone. It’s just stupid to assume things that people have no proof of like she’s been cheating. and even if it is his wife she could have been there with him and conceived a child.

By: Justin

Justin — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 19:02:35 +0000

Usually on a 12-month tour, at the six month point you get to go home for about two weeks of R&R. She looks about six months pregnant. Or she could be like any other military wife and was shagging his superiors stateside.

I know people who have went over seas and actually got a couple weeks back, so more than likely that’s when it happened.

By: Tanker

Tanker — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 23:30:59 +0000

It not always at 6 months. Not the best idea so send an entire unit, who deploy at the same time, on leave at the same time. They are staggered usually starting about about 3 months in to about 10 monhs in. That way there is never an apreciable percentage of a unit not available for duty.

more and more of these unfunny non-fails are going up here. it just makes the site frustrating instead of entertaining. if you run a site making fun of folks failing, it’s less funny when you fail so much yourself. failblog is slowly going to shit.

and what’s with the text added in to the videos at the end? If it’s funny, let it speak for itself. you are adding nothing to the humor.

Not only is R&R not “unusual”, any soldier serving a 12 month tour gets one. Women get knocked up on R&R all the time.

Troops come home for something called r&r halfway through their deployment, so yeah, that’s probably when she got preggers.
