How they're married to these rather stupid people who they can't even have sex with because they're in some country they can't even point out on a map?

I don't think soldiers are stupid because they choose to fight for their country. I think them a lot braver than I am. I don't feel sorry for their wives as they have obviously made a choice to marry a soldier unless it is in a country with involuntary conscription in which case they knew that their hub would be called up at some point. People live quite happily as soldiers wives and the pension they get when they come out (in the UK) is not bad. Obviously I do feel sorry for the wives if their other half gets killed but I would feel sorry for any woman who lost their hubby regardless of the fact he was a soldier or not.
You are either very narrow minded or you have had some very bitter experiences.

I happen to be just such a wife. My husband just left for Iraq a little while ago... I wouldn't say I feel sorry for myself. I may not be the typical soldier's wife, because I don't support what he is doing in the slightest. So I do get angry about his having to be away for a cause that I find despicable... but I never feel sorry for myself, because I made the decision to marry him, and so I need to stick by it and deal with it until it is over.
Soldiers are not stupid people who can't point to their country of station on a map... but I have to admit that a lot of my husband's "battle-buddies" can be pretty oblivious about the political and ethical implications of what they are doing... it is sad, really, because most of them are good guys, but so many of them are misled to believe things about their country and this war that just aren't true.
Most soldier's wives are pretty supportive of what their husbands do, however, and consider them to be heroes... so they believe that they, too are making sacrifices for the "greater good". Though I may not share this belief, I can certainly appreciate where they are coming from, and so I don't feel sorry for them, because they too have made conscious decisions to lead the life they are leading.

first of all, soldiers are not stupid by any means. They do a job that most people would find deplorable. And at some point, soldiers are responsible for the freedom you have to ask stupid questions in public.
Now, I do not believe that our freedom is at stake because of Iraq. But they are doing their job to the best of their ability.
Our military today has some of the best educated people ever, so to call them stupid only draws attention to your own ignorance. And please, do not think that marriage is based on sex. If you are married and your marriage is based on sex, you have a serious problem.
But to answer your question, yes I do feel sorry for them. They are married to people who are willing to give their lives. How many people do you know that would do that?

Well someone out there has to fight for our country. It is rather sad that they fell in love with a soldier but on the other hand should of known what they are getting themselves into. Knowing that your husband is fighting for our country and could be killed is a very sad thing. Being married is not only about having sex it is loving that person no matter what happens. I find those women to be rather strong if they do not stray and they wait for thier man to come home.

That is a messed up thing to say.. First of all they are protecting us that is there job when you fall in love with some one who is in the military yuo don't think about sex and why you cant point them out on the map dumb ***. No matter where they are you still love them. They are there in other ways and sex doesn't count. I think maybe you need growing up to do are maybe a time out...

Thanks guys! My heart does go out to some of the wives, but not all of them. Some take advantage of their spouses (not wives)...SPOUSES. They spend their hard earned money and cheat on them while they are gone.You can't feel sorry for these people because they don't feel a loss in the first place. I want to believe that most spouses that have a husband or wife deployed in theatre or somewhere overseas do feel a tremendous loss from the seperation. My heart does go out to the families. As for the ones that lie and cheat...I share different feelings for.

I do not feel sorry for the wives of soldiers that have their husbands over seas. The soldiers over seas are fighting wars published and unpublished so that you can enjoy the liberties that you have today. Why, do you want to sleep with one of those wives or are you one of those wives? This questions seems to be too personal.

As a former military spouse myself, I think you should have put deeper thought into your question. My husband deployed to Iraq and I could have never felt prouder. My husband was doing something that alot of people do not have the courage to do and I, as a military spouse, was living in a condition that most spouse could never imagine. How do you live comfortably knowing that your soulmate is across the world in a war zone and you may wake up in the morning with 2 Class As on your porch? you dont! You walk with your head held high, a knowledge that you and your spouse are two of the strongest people in the country, and holding your breath until he comes home. Our spouses are too busy trying to stay alive to worry about sex, and we, as spouses, are too busy tending house, paying bills, careing for our children, working, and taking care of our husbands from afar to feel bad for ourselves for missing out on sex. We pray too hard for his life and safe return. Not only that but we know that as soon as he hits American soil and is on his way home, GAME IS ON!!!

I understand your passion about the war, but chill a little, man. This is a damned tragedy. I feel sorry for the wives, the children... it's really sad.

I hate war but if it wasnt for the soldiers at that country that you cant pick out then you wouldnt be able to sit at your computer and right stupid questions. War is stupid, not all wars, but the ones in Iraq are idiotic. But I support them one hundred percent and I hope God blesses each and every one of them. If you think that soldiers are stupid then go to fallenheroes.com and see if you can change your mind. One of my dear friends just lost his life in Iraq, he was killed by a roadside bomb. I dont condider him stupid but extremely brave!!!
