I thought when we discussed this earlier that the women had gotten permission from their command to participate in uniform.

They had.

I also don't understand why the photographer was fired either. What she did in no way, shape or form impacted her job.

Bull shit.

Is there evidence of this aside from the breast feeding campaign's word?

If they had permission to use the uniforms that way, I don't see how they could be reprimanded for it.

There were a couple of different sources that said they had permission (with the root source of info not being the blog).

I do wonder if the reprimands started further up the chain.

According to this article, she called in sick and they can prove she was out doing interviews that day, b/c she drove her company vehicle that has GPS. Dun-dun-dun.

Am I missing something? The woman who was fired was a civilian and it certainly seems as though it was justified. What does her termination have to do with the military?

I can't tell if that one chick should have been fired or not but it looks like either way it had jack shit to do with the campaign or with breastfeeding.
