But today I read something that just honestly pi**ed me off! I'm still outraged. But I'm going to share it with you because I know you've dealt with it before. This isn't the first time I have jumped to the defe
nse of a soldier...even before my husband I just didn't understand how ignorant people can be.As I said, I love Army Wives and just happened to miss this last weekends episode. So I jumped on the site to see if they had the episode posted yet. I stumbled upon a blog and was hooked on the entries almost instantly (as you are to other military families/wives, it's our comfort zone) A few entries in I stumbled upon this entry...
"I think a show about military life is extremely annoying.First of all, have you ever noticed when someone dies in a war, he or she is labeled a "hero"? How do we define a simple stranger as a "hero"? Most of them are drunkards, womanizers, and poor excuses for human beings. Many of you claim they joined for "the love of their country." Get real: most of them do not even know what the Constitution IS."
I don't know their name, I don't know why they took it upon themselves to wake up today and post to the Army Wives blog with anger? But what I do know is...
These "drunkards", "womanizers", and "poor excuses for human beings" are fighting for their right to even say that. It's unfortunate that our soldiers are stereotyped, because I know that my husband is not any of the above and I'm pretty sure yours isn't either!
I'm just going to pass this one off as venting...
you grow thick skin after awhile, but the outrage is still there...I agree with you. Soldiers are heroes, and yes they are people who are serving for the right for other people to say and speak these things about them...to categorize every soldier as such is garbage.
