The Military

Who else has noticed that this country stopped fighting terrorists long ago?

Well duh.

The rest I don't agree with.

lmao

I say if you don't stand behind our troops, feel free to stand in front of them.

I SECOND THAT

I really don't think anything about this situation is black and white. Some people join because they don't have a choice. I agree that no one is fighting for my freedom, because it was never in jeopardy of being gone. I don't agree with this war at all, but I don't blame the military people. Also, the military wives should be proud. They go through so much shit and they still hold it together.

So you don't believe in the war with Afghanistan? Do you even know the facts? Stop watching Fox News and get an education.

I hate Fox news. I don't believe in the war at all. I do know the facts, and i am not going to argue. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I am not going to waste my time trying to debate with someone who stoops so low to try and offend me instead of stating facts to back up their opinion.

I have been an army wife for 9 years. And I have NEVER cheated on my husband.

Judging ALL military men/women, wives/husbands, and families is no different than anyone judging Muslims. You're a hypocrit.
Not all military men and women's spouses cheat just as not all Muslims are violent or terrorists.

THANK you! Well said!

I agree with you. My husband has been in the service for 8 years. He enlisted a year after we started dating. We have been through one deployment and many, many months apart. Not once have I cheated on him. Not once have I had the urge but believe me, I have had the chance. I am a very FAITHFUL, very PROUD army wife.

wow, i love how you generalize. i have never cheated on my husband, my best friend is a muslim, and just because my husband is in the military doesn't mean he agrees with the wars he is sent to fight. you are now just as the bad as the people you are generalizing about...

I concur.

What an ignorant, generalized entry.

Why don't you spend just one day in the military and tell me what we do is murder, tell me it's unimportant, and call me an idiot for being proud of what I do, and the accomplishments I've made as an Airman.

As for military wives, until you have experienced what it's like to go days or weeks at a time without hearing from your husband, hoping he's okay, praying he's alive, I don't want to hear your nasty uninformed comments about it. Many people cheat regardless of whether their spouse is in the military or not. The fact that they are in the military doesn't make them any more or less likely to cheat.

"People in the military right now made the conscious choice to join." Yeah, we made the conscious choice to stand up and do something that many people wouldn't. We sacrifice a lot, and we do it so dumbasses like you can write entries like this.

You're complaining about people lumping all muslims with terrorists but then have the odasity to clump the true military wives with the ones that have no respect for their marriage, the risk their husbands take, or the fact that their husbands are fighting for them as well as the rest of the country.

We as Americans are aware that there is no draft. That doesn't mean we shouldn't support our troops. It, to me, seems like out of everyone you are the idiot. You are nothing but a hypocrit. If you are going to talk bad about a group of men & women & then say we as Americans are judging all muslims as one thing, you seriously need to take a second & rethink this thought sweetheart.

And by the way when has America not been judged for something? When have Americans not judged other Americans? This world, whether you want to believe it or not, this world is a judgmental world. Deal with it & stfu

While I could've somewhat agreed with your point, the whole idea behind this post was lost once you stereotyped and put everyone in the same category!

You can't say we Muslims are not violent people and then post the most angry entry calling everyone idiots, sluts and notorious for cheating! That's sort of hypocritical! Had you gone about it a different way I think you would've had a completely different response.

well gee, maybe they should just be a dole bludger [or welfare or whatever] and not support their family.

my brother's in the military, not because he's super patriotic, but because IT PAYS MONEY, and he likes all the running around being fit etc. it's a good way of supporting yourself and a family, even if there are some obvious shit points to it.

the fact that you think the wives/husbands will ALWAYS cheat and that the soldiers join just so they can kill people shows that you are just an ignorant piece of shit who's opinions are not worth getting upset over.

I agree in that I massively dislike the military, but not the reasons you put here.. the stuff about military wives cheating and members of the armed forces being idiots is ridiculous!!!

I have been married for 15 yrs this year... I was raised an army brat and then married a soldier. I come from a huge family of military men and women, and not one has cheated (trust me - we're such a close family that there are no secrets.. we would know)
You're right - my brother, husband, father all willingly signed up and took their oaths. My grandfathers were a different story from a different era - but once their "owed" time was up they chose to stay active duty.
and you're right YOU didnt ask for anyone to defend you. But they don't take their orders from you. Their oaths are to one person and one person alone - the commander in chf - whoever that is at the time - whether they like who he is and what he believes. You dont get handed orders for a deployment that say "if you want to go," or "if you feel like it" or "if you think its right to do it" You're given orders - you don't question them because you took an oath not to and you go.
As the spouse you dont question it either. To do so, is questioning your spouses honor. You raise the kids, run the house and wait for them to get home

and btw - there are many many muslims who are military - who are deployed - who aren't upset at being deployed or with their mission.
My father a Chaplain had the wonderful pleasure of serving with many Muslim Chaplains.. Most of which years after my father's death still drop by to see us, still send holiday cards and birthday cards..

And we as Americans are judged harshly because of the nut jobs amongst us.. Pay attention to the news coverage this week of the annv of the seige at Waco on BBC/BBCA

Meghans Follie

my dad was in the army for 21 years.. pretty much all of my childhood. now he's retired but my sister's husband is in the army. don't dog the people who have the courage to do what you never could. we'd have nothing without our military.

For most people, joining the military is liking joining the church. It's a calling. They feel pulled towards this, whether it be as a job or as a patriotic service. Whatever the reason, they accept that their life may be on the line to protect yours. Why is it so hard to respect?

And for the cheating...I don't know how true that is. Maybe you've been watching that Army Wives show too much. It is addictive, I'll give you that. I know plenty of military wives who have a lot of admiration for what their husbands are doing, and that alone sustains them.

Only the uneducated are saying Muslims are evil. But, if I can be honest, the Christians acknowledge they have some nutballs. Maybe there should be an acknowledgement that Christianity isn't the only group with crazies?

We already are seen as worse than terrorists. But it's ok, because we're America. We live by American laws and social mores. We don't live according to the middle east laws because we're not from the middle east. It'd be silly if we had the laws of Saudi Arabia, or Iraq, because it isn't our culture.

And we stopped fighting terrorists, but have started fighting for democracy. I don't think that's too awful.

I have never been married. I have however dated people in the military. You are making assumptions that every military wife has cheated. A good majority of women cheat period. Though they may cheat, doesn't make them any less proud of their soldier.
I agree, it pisses me off when a spouse cheats on someone who is over seas fighting for our country ( not freedom ).
I have cheated before on a partner or two, but never on one who is enrolled in any military forces.
I think you may be veering your actions of being unfaithful on other women you may generally have jealousy towards.

I do agree with your statement about not fighting for freedom. We are not. My fiance and I were discussing this the other night. I strongly believe September 11th was a disaster and a time of mourning. With that being said, I do not believe we were being attacked. A group of terrorists took it upon themselves to strike out at one of our most valued sites.

If a gang of KKK members bombed a predominately black town, that's doesn't cause for another Civil War. It causes conviction and a good ass whoopin'. Unfortunately we were unable to follow through with that means of justice since they did infact commit a suicide bombing. They served justice upon themselves.

The thought on war sickens me. It makes me physically ill. I Hayes that people die. I hate that both innocent and guilty people risk their lives over nothing more that a small section of ANOTHER society's hate towards us.

If you feel the need ti blame somebody. Blame bush and the government for over reacting. Don't blame our troops and our loved and valued soldiers. More than 90% of my family is in the military. I have had 3 people in my family die at war in the last 6 years.

Take a good hard look at yourself and figure out what it is you really hate. I am certain you will find it isn't their demons, but infact, your own.

I don't agree with most of this post (the first part anyways). But it is your opinion, however misguided it is.

I don't know about anyone else but having a strong military makes me feel safe. Imagine our country with no military we would never survive. So in a sense yes they are in the military protecting our freedom

re: everyone who's crying about "generalizing":

Most military wives cheat within the first month of deployment.

Oh whatever. The submitter was still talking out of his/her ass.

Spend a year in their shoes and tell me how you feel

Excuse me?? Not all military wives are cheaters so shut your fat mouth!
I do respect your opinion and I do agree that not all Muslims are violent... The Koran actually teaches alot of things extremists dont believe in like treatingwomen equally and peace etc..
And don't be dissing a soldier no matter what your opinion is. They have the courage you obviously dont.
9/11 was an attack at the western world. A horrible devestatin and disgusting attack.

I may not agree with what our military is doing, but the people who aren't in charge aren't the people to be looked down on. A lot of them join because they want to. I know someone who had a family and wasn't able to find a job to support his family, so he joined in active duty so he could be a better man and support his family. His wife has never cheated on him. Not all military wives do. And men over seas are just as likely to cheat as the women back home. So there are, as you say, 'sluts' on both sides.
♥

Don't like it? Get out and GO to your HOME LAND you so dearly love. The people in our military are some of the best people in the country right now. And that INCLUDES their wife. I concur with Native.Mama - if you don't stand behind them, feel free to stand in front of them.

While I'm not big on the military scene, I don't have enough information to actually say if I think it's a good or bad thing...but to be so ignorant of it, wow man. I mean, seriously...if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. And are you just attacking the Americans in this? I mean, it seems that way to me.
Don't get me wrong, you're entitled to your opinion, but you're stating that military wives sleep around. Do you follow every single one of them around to get this proof or are you just basing this on gossip?

I agree with some of this but I don't think that military wives are sluts and that they all cheat on their spouses. And sometimes it's the men/women that are in the military overseas that cheat on their wives/husbands back home.

But I do think people need to realise that being in the military is a job choice. No one made them sign up and they are doing their job. To me, firemen and police officers and such are just as heroic as military personnel.

A lot of people DO judge Americans as violent, arrogant people. Living in a country outside the US, I hear a LOT of judgment towards the US about how they solve everything with violence and war and are arrogant and think they are the only country in the world. I am American myself, but I have to agree that sometimes Americans do come off that way.

Judgment is everywhere though. And despite the fact that Muslims may believe in peace for everyone, it is hard for people not judge based on the actions of Muslims involved in terrorism and bombings. Wouldn't matter if it was a Christian or a Catholic or otherwise, one person can ruin it for the entire group.

What Muslims have you met? Obviously, your too much of a coward to fight for your country. And I find you to be quite the hypocrite. And every muslim I'm ever met has been a lying coward and a backstabber. And for you to bash the U.S of A, you should be stoned to death. If you don't like the country or your freedom, then leave. Don't blame the military, or bash their wives either, I was in and I am damn proud of the job I did. So go fuck yourself you communist goat fucker.

Haha, you're just as ignorant, if not MORE ignorant than the person who wrote this.

[Anonymous Source|0 likes] [|reply]

You obviously see things the wrong way. I'm not ignorant at all. I speak fact. EVERY muslim I have ever met was a liar and a cheat. I have neighbors that are muslim over 50 of them. I've seen every single one steal, a few have been caught raping christians in the neighborhood. Call me ignorant, but stop watching Fox News and actually get an education.

HAHAHAHAHA WHAT.

I hate the government, i hate war, and i hate the fact that SO many men and women are over there fighting for NOTHING.... that being said...

2 of my very dear friends are army wives who have children with their husbands, and have NEVER cheated on their husbands....so i wouldnt lump all military wives together....

and i might never have been in the military, or have never had an urge to be in the military...but i am a PROUD sister of a desert storm paratrooper. My brother did 2 tours in iraq when Bush Sr. was in office..... and until you wake up everyday not knowing if your spouse/sibling/parent is ALIVE or DEAD i really dont think you have the right to sit here and say such horrible things about the military, or what its like for the people around them.

Tell you what. You don't like the military?

YOU get out there and defend your family and country when the barbarians come a-calling.

They're out there so that YOU don't have to be. The only reason you're free to bitch about them in this way is because they paid the price for your freedom.

And as someone upthread said: "If you won't stand behind the troops, feel free to stand in front of them."
