I kind of agree with catland.....what ISN'T the press putting in the article. I understand that they can be even court martialed for disobeying a direct order, but, if that order was not to get married was it a moral or legal request. If not (which I would think it wouldn't be) that it would never get to court martial. I do know that when Mike was in the Army and it came time to re-enlist, they said that he could only re-enlist if he divorced his then wife. He refused (which he kicks himself for on a regular basis ) and he got out. Having a sister who is a military wife, I have heard the horror stories forever. I do love what the military does for us and that the members are willing to put their lives on the line for the good of the rest of us, but, I do think they go over the top on some issues, and this is one of them. Sometimes the senior officers seem to have a "God complex" when it comes to their men (and women).
