February 12, 2010 8:22 a.m. EST This article was about a single mom that was discharged from her military post because she didn’t want to leave for Afghanistan because she had no one to take care of her 10-month son, and she was afraid he’d be put in foster care if she left him, and so when the army deployed in Afghanistan and she wasn’t there, the soldiers called on her lawyer, and he explained why. The army had thought she’d had enough time to sort family issues by the time they’d be leaving, but apparently she wasn’t, so they gave her 30 days to find someone, but she couldn’t, and had to be removed from her post and was put in the lowest military class, and didn’t have the same privileges as the others.

An unidentified soldier was buried in Fromelles, France, having been found among dozens of bodies from a battle that killed Australian and British troops in one night. This battle took place in 1916; and “The air was thick with bullets, swishing in a flat, criss-crossed lattice of death. Hundreds were mown down in the flicker of an eyelid, “said British Veterans minister Kevan Jones.
The soldier was buried until now because so many died that night, that the British and Australians couldn’t get their dead back, so they were buried in hundreds of mass graves, and they were forgotten until now.
The body hasn’t been identified, but several people who have relatives buried in Fromelles have donated DNA to help identify the body. The rest of the bodies will be buried over the next two months, and those who can’t be identified will bare a gravestone saying “known unto God”, and the commission that buries the bodies is a non-profit organization that helps both WWI and WWII.
