What are you waiting for?

8Baller's blog: "Can you wait"

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! Feel free to repost this! Everyone needs to read it!
