Can you wait for a solider !
Whatever happened to ' If you don't have anything nice to say, don't
say nothing at all' Shouldn't this apply even more so for military
wives. Can civilian people even begin to understand how it is . You
can't just walk in to the other room to vent at your husband. You can't
pick up the phone and call them. You have miles between you and it will
be months before you can have the comfort of their touch. Why would you
pick on someone like that? Why would you kick someone when the are
already down? What happened to being nice. Not setting out just to hurt
someones feelings. It makes me so sick to see people causing trouble
for these families. They are going through enough! Let them be! Leave
them alone! Find another hobby. Don't hurt people just because you can.
That does not make them less of a person but it does make you. You
should feel ashamed of your self to kick these people while there down.
It is not right and they have have people who are willing to stand up
and say something about it!
It is not right! No matter how you try and justify --- IT IS WRONG!
Think
about this before you go running your mouth to a military family......
Don't they have enough to deal with? Here is just what one soldier
deals with in a given day.........
The simplest of tasks that would take 5 minutes at home now require planning and several hours. i will go over a few of those.
Eating,
in order to eat you have to get dressed in full uniform, walk half a
mile or more (depending on where you are) show an ID card, wait in
line, pick your poison (I think its grade F meat we get) sit and eat,
clean up your area, dump your tray and walk back to your area.
Showering.
Get dressed in full uniform, get all your showering shit together, walk
down to the showers, dont use the water for brushing your teeth (its
non potable and will make you sick) shave, shower (combat shower= turn
on water get wet, turn of water lather, turn on shower and rinse) get
dressed again, and walk back to your area.
Calling home. Get dressed
in full uniform, walk your happy ass a mile to the phones, show ID,
sign in, wait in line (1 to 3 hour wait) get on phone, dial, enter
access code, talk to loved ones for 20 minutes, get kicked off because
of time limit, wait in line for next turn on phone.After all that do
you think he wants to here about his family being mistreated? DO you
think he wants to hear his wife cry?
These are just
inconvenient, then there are the IED's (imagine a bomb buried on the
side of a road that detonates as you drive by) it is like the earth has
opened up and is trying to swallow you, they maim and kill soldiers
everyday. there are the small arms attacks, there is the noise, the
dirt, the hurt civilians and soldiers, the trash everywhere, the smell,
the fear, the anger and rage, the biting flies, the spiders, snakes,
sleeping wherever you can whenever you can, the dust, the mud, the
rocks, the heat, the cold, the rain, the land mines, the breakdowns on
the road, the lonliness, the helplessness, the news telling us we are
doing a shitty job, the heartbreak, the horniness, the things you want
to tell people back home but can't, the pure chaos of battle. And in
the back of your mind you are so worried that your family is OK. At the
end of it all- THEY WANT TO KNOW THEIR HAPPY IS OK!!!! DON'T THEY
DESERVE THAT?
It is a sacrifice on both sides and neither side
is easier, hats off to the military girls that get through the hard
times by their soldier, you will have a rich and rewarding life after
all of this. ..
Question:
would you be able to wait for a soldier? Is somebody waiting for you?
Don't let other people drag you down. You have made it this far, stand by your man!
I
am glad that the President at least made it known that He realizes the
families of the troops suffer from the time spent apart! We have to all
stay strong and stick together!
Whether we agree with the war or
not! That is a husband- a son- a uncle- a daddy- a mommy -a aunt- a
brother- a wife- a sister- a cousin-a friend- a human being! Support
the men and women over there! They need us!
