I'm tired of the war

**KatyCaneB** · 05-21-2006, 11:46 PM

Hey there,

I'm new here and so sorry to start off with a venting post. I just learned some awful news. My husband is in Iraq right now and we just found out he has to go to Iraq AGAIN (3rd time) when he gets home

. We've already been separated for a year now and I'm just ready to pull our troops out and have my husband home!!
I know my opinion doesn't matter much to the world but it's making me really frustrated with the President especially since it has been affecting me personally for so long. I don't understand why we are even over there anymore. I don't know if I even understand why we went over there in the first place. When is this going to end?????

Frustrated,
Katy

I think we are all tired of the war.

I do not know when, or how, it will end. Sadly, I don't think anyone does. What kind of outfit is your husband in? Just curious.

I don't know why everyone calls it a war, anyway. It isn't as though the US was feuding with Iraq. I am so anti-war that I dare not type what I really think, for fear it will tick off too many people.

I don't have any loved ones in Iraq or Afganistan - lucky me. I do know someone (23 yr. old) who lost his life in Iraq. He was a Marine, and proud of it. Bless his soul.

We need to have a female president.

I think you should both be thanked for the sacrifices you are making for your idiot President. I pray your hubby will be home safe with you soon

Katy...how does your husband feel about going back? I am interested in hearing what the guys over there think.

I am sorry your husband has to go back it must be very hard on you.

The men and women who join the military do not do it for a single President, or a single politician - offices change and pols come and go during the course of their careers. But we are all grateful for the men and women in uniform, and their families with them, who make that choice, and make that sacrifice, for all of us.

I hope your husband can come through it all unscathed, although he will not be unchanged, none of us would be. But that you have some good time together before he gets shipped back, and you never know, they could change their minds, it has happened before.

Yes, I have a brother (Lady's Human) who has been Army Active Duty - is now Reserves, and a nephew who just finished Navy Basic Training, and is in school for his specialty.

We have had at least one family member in the military for every war, except WWII (Dad enlisted Sept. of '47) and Vietnam - the ages were off for both of those, folks were either too old or too young.
