While riding with a new friend last Saturday we were talking about our families. My friend told me of an insident where his nephew was married with children and a pastor of a church in the states. On his 3rd tour of duty in Iraq it was learned he was having an affair will a fellow female soldier. He is divorced now. You can run a horse into the ground and destroyed. These neo con chicken hawks only have 1 mission. To get Iraqi oil, heroin from record producing poppy fields in Afganistan and sacrifice Americans if it takes it. Chicken hawk GWBush says war end is like a horizon. Haties, bush hocky lies. You can't see beyond a horizon and the hawks know it.

I am a military spouse as well. Im not sure which is worse, raising a child on my own while her father was in Iraq for 14 months, or when he got home and his command has become so self involved and arrogant, that they no longer care about their soldiers. We've been in more fights than I can count because of poor leadership within his command. Their company is falling apart at the seams and its putting so much stress on the families. Two of my close friends have gotten divorced from their soldiers in the past several months. I also went took photos for a friend when her husband deployed and the command for that company was walking around barking out orders using very vulger language in front of children only a short while before their fathers left them for 15 months. The military needs a serious overhaul. As does our government.

Personnel on their third tour of duty in the Marines in IRAQ are rotating back to the USA for a short stay then being deployed to Afghanistan.The National Guard and reserve Army units that were used by the Bush administration to fight in IRAQ for as many as 3 tours of duty have suffered greatly and some specialties would be far better off if they requested transfer into the regular Army rather than remaining in the reserves, so they will be eligible for benefits that the BUSH administration has not made available to reserve units.

It is simply amazing that every story from the Associated Press is totally worthless. Who in the world are these so-called "reporters" ? How dumb do they think the American people are ? What in God's name compels them to blather on and on and on about the obvious ? At some point , shouldn't these moronically weak-minded "reporters" have to be held accountable for their lack of common sense, and their piss-poor ability to perform even the most basic functions of news telling ?

Ok so here is my take being a military wife and my husband being on his 3rd deployment to Iraq, everything said in this article is true except one thing. They fail to mention that spouse in Iraq also have affairs. My friend lost her husband of 12 years to an affair that happend in Iraq. I feel like they need to address that too because it is not just the spouse left in the states that get lonely and cheat.

Bush and McCain not only kill soldiers, but they also destroy families. Some family values, eh??
