my husband joined the army (after being my dependent while I was active army) knowing what he would face since joining after the iraq fiasco started. What do those of you who oppose this war + keep their opinions to themselves on post do to ease the separation time especially if the FRG (family readiness group) is really not the place for someone like me (in terms of not being able to find solace in a group of spouses whose hubbies are career soldiers + can't honestly relate their opinions and feelings since everything there is meant to keep the army + its activities in a positive light as an end goal. because how many "successful" enlisted personell and officers have spouses on base involved in FRG that decry the war. Also, his benefits are NOT something he was going for or that I need 2 use since I have my own insurance and means to support our family. There wasn't a single financial/benefit based reason for him to join. He just wanted to "volunteer" and I feel its abandonment

I totally agree with you! My husband is over in Iraq as I speak and I am so anti war it's not funny! I don't have a family it's just me but the main thing that has been helping me cope is church and small groups from there. It's best just to keep busy doing anything and everything possible. He'll be back soon enough and when he does do everything you can to keep him from signing those re-enlistment papers.
