re: #168 DangerMan

- it’s not just those in service and their spouses (and kids)
- while this may not directly affect their families, they (likely) most have families

that makes it a lot more potential pissed off people

This doesn’t just affect people who are overseas on government orders, for example, a tourist overseas who suddenly goes into premature labour. That child under this policy would not be a citizen, even if both parents are.

It is also unequal treatment concerning military personnel.

If a man is in the military, it would be a hardship but he could send his wife back to the States for the birth.

If a woman is in the military, she cannot leave her post to return to the States for a birth.
