For the longest time, I refused to watch “Army Wives” because I thought it was all episodes of women cheating on their soldier spouses, and finding excuses to make their actions seem acceptable to everyone else.
As a former military man, I thought it sounded pretty disgusting.
Finally, curiosity got the better of me and I watched a few seasons. I actually liked MOST of it because it really shows the Army garrison life and stuff that I’ve come to see in my own army experience.
What I didn’t like was how that one f~~~ing c~~~ who is married to an Army Major serving in the Middle East thinks it’s COOL to start having sex with one of the patients at the army hospital that she works at as a nurse. When the Major finds out, he’s obviously torn apart by it. But when he decides to FORGIVE her and move on with their 20-year marriage, I was shouting, “What the f~~~ are you doing??? Ditch the bitch!”
I liked how the Army general who runs that post was actually refusing to even LOOK at that bitch because he finds no honor in officer’s wives sleeping around with someone else. I like how the general’s own WIFE never f~~~ed around with another guy at all, but didn’t like how she’s trying to act like what her fellow woman did was “no big deal”.
In my own military experiences, I never DID have a relationship. In those days, I was what you’d call a “purple-pill”, aware of the risks of women, but not quite subscribing to the full truth of it. But I DID, however, see about three-quarters of the men in my platoon get “Dear John” letters from their wives or girlfriends, or found out that their wife/girlfriend was f~~~ing around with Civilian Jody at home in some other way.
My own sergeant even found out that his own wife was cheating on him. He had a mental breakdown shortly afterwards and was committed to the base hospital. He never did come back on duty to my unit after that. Not sure what happened to him, actually. All I know is that I had to take his place as squad leader, courtesy of the requests of my platoon leader.
What a f~~~ing way to get a promotion, right? Well…in responsibility. Not in my military rank.
Military men have enough S~~~ to deal with. They don’t need to be distracted in their daily tasks by wondering if their Jane Rottencrotch is finger-banging Jody Civilian(or another military man, God forbid), and probably end up getting one of the men in their units killed because of that f~~~ing distraction.
There was a time in the military where the U.S. government BANNED any marriages from happening to recent graduates from the Naval Academy at Annapolis or from West Point. Marriages were forbidden for at least the first 4 years of an officer’s career.
Why? Because not only was the salary of a newly-minted officer complete S~~~(but still higher than what Privates and Sergeants made in that time), but the military preferred that these men should be able to FOCUS on their jobs. They just got a f~~~ing education for FREE at government expense. Now they have to suck it up and do the job they were trained for without being distracted by wives and babies and diaper expenses.
I want that old rule to go back to being MANDATORY for military duty. Even though the salaries of Navy Ensigns and Army 2nd Lieutenants are now considerably higher, that’s besides the point. They shouldn’t be worried about how to feed their wives and squalling brats. They got a f~~~ing command to take care of as first priority. A sergeant shouldn’t have to be holding up the whole f~~~ing platoon all by himself just because his baby-faced shavetail 2nd Lieutenant has to go run off and see his baby being born, or having to go and buy diapers because the wife is off at the base Starbucks gossiping with the other wives about the baby weight they’re losing…or NOT losing.
