I don't have the same level of respect for military wives.

YOUR spouse serves for our country not you.  Its not a sacrifice YOU had to make.  There are plenty of other men out there.  I don't take credit for my husbands job which takes him away for weeks at a time.  You are not an extension of your husbands job, quit claiming how hard it is to be "that kind of wife".  You had to know he was going to leave, risk death ect <which as an American I am indebted to>  but you meh, your just a side dish of the main course.

I'm not even a military wife and I disagree with you 100%. I give them 100$ support. It would be hard..your right there are a lot of other men out there.. but there is also a lot of women out there who won't date anyone in the military... because they are too afraid

YES!! Should I pm you my address for that 100$ ? lol

This post is so cruel...there are some who irritate by waving their banner constantly without provoking however i can see its a tough job especially with kids. Think about the world wars the spouses that held down the homefront working in factories buildong the ammo guns tanks and ships their husbands needed to keep our freedom. They have an important job too!

*backs out slowly* Not my battle but good luck with your disdained opinion.

I'm sure being a millitary wife is tough, but so is being the wife of a man with a terminal illness. Think about what it must be like to have this happen and not.only have to.stand by and watch your husband so.sick and you can't do shit.to help him, but also having to deal with medical bills and cope with all the ramifications said terminal illness can bring. It destroys EVERYTHING. Worlds are flipped upside down when diagnoses like those come in.

People choose to marry into millitary lives. No one, however, chooses for their spouse to get sick.

... Civilians dont stand by their husbands? Civilians dont support the troops? Civilian wives won't have to raise children alone if their husband dies? Most wives stand by their husbands, and just because you support your husband like everyone else supports their husband doesn't make you any kind of special.

And this is coming from someone who was married to and personally served in the military. Soldiers are people just like everyone else, and so are their wives.

Quoting missamanda86:

I stand by my husband, the soldier, who puts his life on the line along with hundreds of thousands of others. I am the one left to raise our kids alone if he dies fighting for our freedom. Unlike civilian wives, us military wives sacrifice so much more IMO so that everyone has the freedom  they fight for...a side dish? Get real....how many of those military men and women wouldnt be half the person they are without thier spouses support and love

i had a bad experiance of being a militry wife. Married him. Moved to another state and he cheated on me and kicked me out with nothing to my name. Being around militry wives all the time wen i was married i have a lot of respect. Speacialy ones whose husbands are rangers infentry ect. My ex was a paper pusher so i wouldnt say i sacrafised anything lol

[alynette]

we all make sacrifices for our husbands in one way or another

mine just happens to be on a boat in the navy :)

[Brittanyk3]

i may just be a side dish but what is a meal without sides? we do make sacrifices...we are not on the front lines but we make sacrifices at home and so do our kids. i dont feel that im better then someone thats not a military wife but we DO make sacrifices. there are also many other jobs that both husband and wife have to make sacrifices.
