Major General Tony Cucolo, who commands U.S. soldiers in Northern Iraq, set out possible punishments from reprimand to court martial for prohibited behavior, including drinking alcohol, taking drugs, or becoming pregnant.

General Cucolo defended the rules, which took effect for his 22,000 soldiers when he took over command in November, as necessary to retain combat power. Four U.S. soldiers were found to be pregnant since the general took over command and received letters of reprimand. Three male soldiers involved also were reprimanded and a forth male received stiffer punishment because he had committed adultery.

Punishment for becoming pregnant. I doesn't seem right to me.
