A picture taken of two moms breastfeeding in military uniforms has stirred up controversy.
Yahoo! reports the photo is part of a breastfeeding awareness campaign by Mom2Mom of Fairchild Air Force Base , a support group launched in January by Crystal Scott, a military spouse and mother of three.
While there are several pictures taken on the group's website of mom's breastfeeding, a picture of two moms with their Air Force uniforms on sticks out.

... the infuriating posters were the ones who believe women shouldn't be in the military and definitely not mothers (and to be fair, not fathers either. No parent should be a soldier in their (small) minds.... )
There was even one DUer who honestly believes the military should think twice before training women pilots because doncha know, you don't know if you're investment in their training would ever be paid off
