Well it looks like Maj Gen Anthony Cucolo had to change his new policy of punishing soldiers under his command who become pregnant – impregnators included. He had wanted the soldiers to “think before they act.”
The updated policy removed the pregnancy provision and addressed the issue of autonomy – units must get permission from the commander of U.S. Forces-Iraq before creating new rules restricting the activity of troops.
Maj. Joe Scrocca, spokesman for U.S. Forces-Iraq
all requests by subordinate units to impose further restrictions of activities addressed in General Order No. 1 will require approval of the USF-I commander.
Perhaps Maj Gen Cucolo can now shift the focus to the rapists under his command and get them to stop acting all together.
