Unless the enemy was marching down my street there's no way in hell I would let my wife go to war. She would never see action in Iraq or any forgeign land because all the wars that the US have been involved in have been surrogate wars or wars to secure G.O.D. ( Guns Oil & Drugs).

That's what I'm saying.
That's why I served my time and got the f*ck out!

Being both military I can assure you that even though you are married, you have NO control over it what-so-ever. As much as I hate it I knew from the start that I would have to make peace with the fact that he belongs to the government, and so do I. Unfourtenantly we won't belong to one another truly even in our marriage until our contract is up. As sad as it is to get separated from each other, trust me I know how it is, we both made a commitment to our country, I am sorry to say this but you are sounding selfish. While she is over there, you should think of doing something for your country as well. I know you dont want your wife to go, but this is for the good of everyone, whether the war is agreed upon or not. We have both been in Iraq in 2003, I am left alone now in the USA to pray for him while he is saving our soldiers lives over in Iraq again. Be proud of your wife, you have NO IDEA how good it feels to be a part of the greatest force in the world....

I lived and worked 14 years in the Middle East. Most Americans today stick their head in the sand and say that if we were not in Iraq, we wouldn't have the problems we have today. They couldn't be more wrong. We are in a Muslim/non Muslim war and it's only going to get worse. If you're not a Muslim, then you're an infidel and they will kill you. I fully support any man or woman who's willing to defend this country. You really don't know what you have here until you lose it but you'll surely lose it if we don't defend our country. Find a job in a Muslim country and stay there for a few years and you'll definitely look at things differently.

I would have to say that I would not want my spouse to go to war, however, there is really no way to make someone who is in the military nto go to war. If they have signed on the dotted line, they are property of the U.S. military until they either complete their contract or die, in a woman's case even get pregnant! But, we don't have say in what others do, my opinion, don't get involved with someone in the military if you adament about your feelings. Just to add, God see those service men and women home safely, including my brother-inn-law in Iraq at the moment.

Well we are all entitled to our own opinions, I am in total disagreement with yours. I am certain if we wanted the oil we would have taken it! But what concerns me about your opinion is the human rights issue, the right for all to be free and woman to be educated and not treated barbarically. Though I will give you the respect to have your opinion, I will also add to mine that I will stand behind my husband anytime he chooses to be a hero, as he has in the past fought in a war to give you your freedom of speech. I must also add that it is too bad that the good old USA doesn't get the backing of Country's to do the right thing. I also assume you had no one you loved in the towers or pentagon on 911. Perhaps you should move to France, though remember they are closing euro-disney in France in case you like Mickey Mouse, seems everytime the fireworks went off half the French Army ran for shelter.

well that all depends, if they just all of a sudden had an urge to go fight in the war, i would be like NO FREAKING WAY!! but if they had allready been in the marines,army, Navy etc. then they chose that life, they signed those papers, and agreed allready to go to war!! so I would not have much say in the matter, I would not like it, but it is what it is!!

First of all, I love my husband utterly - but if he was in the military, it would not be my call as to whether he went to war or not. And if you had a wife in the military, it would not be your call whether she goes or not. You can't really believe you have that kind of power and if you are that controlling and ownership oriented with a wife - well you much get single.

I really don't know.
I doubt I would ever marry one so patriotic as to jump off to war for completly patriotic resasons, but if I was just dropped magically into such a situtation. I would probably respect my spouse's wishes and allow them to fight if they want to.

It would not be a matter of letting him go because I would never marry a military person. War is never the answer and if you must fight you don't fight hand to hand combat.. you blast the heck out of them, take over the country, straighten it out and give it back once it is under control (Like we did in Japan)

Mine already has been to two wars. If he felt it was his duty to go again I would never think of stopping him. He felt it was his duty to preserve the freedoms we enjoy - even if others were too cowardly to do so.

No...
So far, Bosnia is about the only war that viewed as being useless.
Once the enemy is walking down your street, you may as well
surrender as you waited too long and have lost the war...
