Often military wives go through child birth without their husbands and husbands don't return sometimes until child is almost 1 year old. This create a strain on families because the father don't get to bond with their child which is very important. Many fathers feel left out in parenting because a routine is already established and when he come home, he have to face the fact that his child does not recognize him or know he is daddy. The military have always been about families and now is the time that they really stand by that and allow fathers to be present during child birth and deployment be delayed until after the child 1st birthday.
