Do you think the military deployment length contributed to a break down in your marriage? Was it worth it?

some people don’t handle being military spouses well w/ lengthy deployments and the stupidity thrown at them from the mil. itself even though the service and family members should have better treatment for at least all the time that is sacrificed.can you as the service member understand the possible resentment coming from your lover/spouse b.c. they view your commitment to the military as something before them if your spouse views Iraq as a frivolous pursuit? I’m obviously not yankee-doodle patriotic or a FRG (fam. readiness group) member with a spouse who has been in for years and is used to this (i also feel FRG is a joke, facade and ran by mostly women whose spouses are higher ranks at least 2/3 close to their 20 years of services + need to put up a supportive front. How many 1st sgts., sergeant majors or colonels does one see w/ wives who aren’t active in volunteer work on the base/organizing bake sales? Not a bad thing, but it’s just so unreal!)Did you choose marriage/reenlist?
Never mentioned anything about unfaithfulness and won’t allow a disagreement I have over his service to turn into a personal character flaw of cheating.
As an honorably discharged, ex army soldier myself I see this war as something not in the U.S.A. best intersts and a lost cause.
My husband joined after I left the army much to my dismay. As for the hillarious comment about me having to be more greatful for his sacrifice to the county and air conditioning provided by the joke of a military check, I have a greater income than he does. Joining wasn’t something necessary for financial reasons. I truly wish I could believe he was doing something for the improvement of Iraq and the U.S.A., but I can’t lie to myself and have ethical issues of being a cheerleader for a cause that’s pointless in my mind.
Why do people think Memorial Day is just for the Military?
16
Jul
Memorial Day is to remember those who have died, whether it be your Grandmother, friend or soldier. It is a day to think about them, so why does everyone think it is a day to be so patriotic. I support the troops, but I don’t go all out for them on a day to remember those who have died, just because a lot of soldiers do. That’s what Veteran’s Day is for.
Please star this if you wondered the same thing, don’t break the streak.

Why am I so emotional since returning from a military deployment?

Jul
I was overseas in Iraq. I kind of laughed off all the PTSD and emotional stuff on the way out, but now four months later, I cry at the drop of a hat for just about any stupid reason. I never used to be like that, and I’m not thinking about my time overseas when that happens. Any correlation?
Military Memorial song?

There’s a common song played (Recording) at military memorial services here in Iraq, it has no words and sounds almost native american in style. It’s a very slow sad and low sounding peice of music. It might be from a soundtrack of a military movie. Any Clue?
