re: #35 ArmyWife

My sons are in Iraq and Germany. But then kids aren’t supposed to live with you their whole lives. I don’t know what’s going on with regard to Afghanistan. My son in Germany says they are not going to get to go there or Iraq (They all want to go.) But they may be saving his group for more obscure events. I think that the more rural aspects of Afghanistan make the urban combat thing less likely, meaning the enemy won’t have hostages or human shields as often. Without civilian shields, they really like to avoid our guys. We can also bring air power to bear more often. In many ways, an easier war.

As for your role as Army Wife: Don’t sell yourself short. Being a good one makes a world of difference to the Army Husbands performance, and to who ever’s back he’s watching. Also, never hesitate to get help when needed from those many of us who appreciate the service for so many reasons.
