I don't understand why some of you guys are ragging on me and my husband? He's in the Army, and he's doing his job. He didn't go over there to kill people. He didn't ask to go over there. He doesn't want to be there.
I guess my question is this; If you can't answer my question, without being hateful about it, why bother? This isn't what we want. I don't like that he's over there either. And why do you assume he's killing people? He hasn't killed anyone! He's a mechanic, he works on the vechiles. Geesh! How many of you, that gave hateful answers, go say hateful things to the mechanic when they fix your car? It's his job, nothing more than that.

Okay, you guys are all sweet enough!
It wasn't a real personal question to begin with. I was asking for ideas for anniversary gifts. My husband and I are celebrating 5 years in March. I only mentioned Iraq, so whoever answered would know we weren't going to see each other that day. I got a snotty remark from a 17 year year old, that calls herself dreamer. It irked me, to say the least.
Well, if any of YOU have an idea on a gift, will you let me know??

First of all Thank your husband for doing what he is doing, he and all the men and women and you and all the families are in my prayers every night!!!!! Dont listen to idiot children who dont understand what is happening in the world. Even if we dont agree with why we are there, we are and we should be proud of all the men and women trying to do good.
Now as for the present. How can he get it? Can you send big things? Forget that I have an idea but it depends on if you like this kind of thing or not. How about some "pin up" pics of you? I have seen this on TV once where wives of soldiers go and have "personal" pics like the pin up girls from the 50's done and send them to their men who are away. This way he can still be "with" you and see you the way he wished he could at home! :)

Some people just don't understand the military way of life, they assume all we do/did was kill. Just because a person serves their country for the good of the others does not mean they are out deployed somewhere shooting peoples heads off. Be proud of your husband for serving. The tougest job in the world is being a military spouse.

It wasn't me Grover, but I am really sorry about people picking on you. It must be very tough on you as well as your husband. I think the perfect 5th Anniversary gift ( Happy Anniversary by the way)
would be to get one of those Teddy Bears that you can record messages on. Send a sweet secret message to him.( something only you and he will know what it means.)
Assuming you guys do that like most couples do.
Lovemaking time in secret code could be ( Hungry for dessert?)
Good luck.

People are ignorant and I am so sorry! My bf was in the Marines for 4 years and he spent 9 mos over there in Iraq. I think it's great that they are over there defending us. I do not agree with the war, but I do support all the troops over there, for working hard for us. Tell your husband to keep up the good work and get home safely!

Hun, if you are going to post serious questions on here, you will have to accept there are losers who have nothing better to do then put you down. You can't take any of the things they say personal. There are some nice people on here, but mainly a bunch of idiots. I have asked many real important questions and in return got immature remarks. If you want real advice, ask people who are close to you. When it comes to questions about war, Iraq whatever, you will have people who feel different ways, you may never know what to expect.

I think that a lot of people are really uptight about the war. I don't think it should be happening but I don't blame those involved in the actual army. I think that it's th governmetn's fault and no one elses' and that people shouldn't be pissed at the people who are stuck doing the government's dirty work. I have a cousin in the army, who chose to be there no less, and I don't think less of him. I still really love him and I respect the fact that he's willing to do what he thinks is right for his country. That's ok with me and I apoligize on behalf of the people who are giving you **** about your husband. They shouldn't be but I also think that you should understand that it's nothing personal, they're just pissed that they can't do anything to stop our men from getting killed and from killing. I'm sorry.

I'm not a hater,I think that they should send all of the troops back home so that they can be with their families. I do have the highest respect for those men and women who protect our country and I am proud of each and every one of them for what they have accomplished during this time since 9/11.LOL.

I totally agree, if people want to criticize someone then they should criticize Bush! He is the one who ordered troops to over there....And they only reason that people are killing over there is becasue they want to stay alive.....Does anyone think about that? I know someone will probably report me...But Oh Well...Like everyone I have an oppion!
I don't think your hubby is a killer...He is doing what he was order to do....I will be so much happier when this war is over....
Give your husband my best and I hope he makes it home to you safe......

You must learn to ignore some of the responses on here. Alot of the ones on here are very young and have no idea how to give an intellegent answer to anything. So, please don't let it bother you. Others are so stuck on themselves that nothing else or no one else matters to them. I am sure that your husband is doing what ever is required of him, just like with any job. BTW, Happy Anniversay
