For men thinking about enlistment, about how women think.

When a man marries a woman, she actually thinks you are committing yourself to her, 'till death do you part.'
She believes the love songs. She is happy.

When you then, enlist in the military and get deployed,
to a woman, you have betrayed your commitment to her.
She believes she is just as (if not more) important than any
time you spend with 'the guys' doing 'guy stuff'

To a woman who has sacrificed her liberty to marry you,
war is 'a guy thing'

To a woman, military, medals, uniforms, war, patriotism,
only means, you are leaving her. That is ALL it means.
Especially if you have brought kids into the world for the two of you to parent.

You make her a single parent when you are deployed, against her wishes, for an unknown length of time. You can't talk about your 'work' with her. You cannot be in bed with her. You cannot share anything. She cannot know where you are. Sometimes, months can go by when she does not know if you are dead or alive.

All of us know that whores are everywhere, and that 99.9% of you will cheat if outside the marriage environment.

Some of us know that Command supplies foreign whores,
mostly from China to deployed officers, at tax payer expense, and that there are skanky foreign bitches everywhere you go, waggling their nasty cunts in your faces.

We also know that if the wife sends pics to you, whatever
the pose, so you'll keep her in mind, these get posted
for all to see, and bets are made as to who gets another one first, or who gets the most, or who gets the most T&A.

Your devastation during these behaviors, is not understood if the wife picks up a 'boyfriend' on the side while you are gone, and you find out.

You left.
You broke promises.
You chose the war (equal to the other woman) over her.
You abandoned the kids, if any.
You abandoned the marriage.
You may be following orders, but your marriage commitment
is meaningless in war.

You married guys who leave for war may as well kiss your marriages and kids, goodbye. Even if you stay together legally, for the kids, after a betrayal of this magnitude, your relationship will never be the same as it would have been if you had not left. It will be worse. And she will
never trust you again.

The ghosts of war you will never tell, will be between you
till you die, and it is you guys who do this betraying
who complain the loudest about the wives you have,
never realizing, you made it so.
