I can understand why you feel sick! - but I would say that men have more of a stomach for killing. There are not many women who would want to fight in combat and to die for your countrymen is a noble thing to do. These guys deserve more respect as they make a lot of sacrifices.....(in part)
I felt sick due to Guapisimo's comment...not because I don't have a stomache for killing...that, I would not know. I guess if it were in defense of my loved ones...as well as my country, you bet!
Well no I was serious harley! I don't believe in or condone WAR!!
While I don't condone war either...I still do not think that the majority of service men who sign up willingly (it's not like we have a current draft happening) are doing so for the thrill of the kill!
My boyfriend is retired USMC...disabled in combat and now retired with full benefits. But he will never regain what he lost there...and I am not just referring to the phsyical aspects...but the mental as well. Did he enjoy the killing?? NO. But it was kill, or be killed...and even if you disagree with war, you cannot stand back and allow your country to be attacked with no defense. | |

Posted: 10/10/2005 11:14:32 PM | Oh wow....I can't believe I stumbled into this forum....Yes, I would date a military man in a heartbeat....I have utmost respect for the men in uniform.
I was married to a military man, although he wasn't a military man at the time...back then you were drafted and they didn't care if you were married or not, so discussions beforehand were not always possible.
Sniper, Yes, I kept my legs together, although I knew some around me who did not. People at home didn't always make it easy, though. The most common phrase I heard from men in town that wanted me to go out, was "Oh come on...you don't really think he is being true to you, do you?" Yes, I do because that was the kind of guy he was, but even if he weren't that kind of guy, it wouldn't have made it morally right for me to cheat, because that's not the way I was/am. My husband was killed in Nam, and I'm soooo glad I "kept my legs together", as you put it, because I would have been tormented the rest of my life if I hadn't. If any of those "cheating women" had to lose their man the way I did, I can't even imagine the horror they must be going through.
Guapisimo- you are one sick pup...there is no other explanation for the things you said.
And Phyneliquor, that really hit me hard...why do some people not THINK before making ignorant comments like this? | |

Posted: 10/10/2005 11:19:04 PM | | It never fails to bash the police until you hear a bump in the night or, to bash the military until something horrible happens in your backyard and you want us to stand guard and make sure it doesn't get so close to you again.... Make up your mind... | |

Posted: 10/10/2005 11:31:14 PM | | I understand the problem is not an easy task for a wife to deal with a deployment of say 180 days away... plus the constant pressure of the news, someone die today, and the next day, and so on, this hit you hard I know. Yes, there are some woman out there who probable got married to the military guy thinking more in the beneficies than in love, those women usually cheat within a few months of having the husband away. To be honest, it scare me more to get cheat on when I am in deployment than get myself blasted away by the enemy. Anyhow... just as I said before, many times we need to get wet in order to fish out someone worthy. Military life isn't easy for anyone, but if it turn too dificult, I would leave it, but just for someone special. | |

Posted: 10/10/2005 11:33:57 PM | Maybe I misunderstood the original meaning of the question by the OP...
I did not think it was in reference to a military personells ability to be faithful...thought it was strictly meaning because of the risk factor?!
ANY person can be unfaithful...whether overseas for months/years...or coming home every single night.
Not all people "need" sex with another person to feel whole or complete...not all people put so much emphasis on sex. Some of us have sex as a bonus to an already awesome relationship...and comparing going without is...well, tacky! What would you do if your partner seized the ability to have sex?!
And lastly...I think a lot of military peeps just have the pride, morals, values...that go hand in hand with being faithful to one person. | |

Posted: 10/10/2005 11:35:28 PM | [For what its worth....I don't think you have to worry about the guys too much. It's not like they have a club to go out to every night. Granted there is down time, but I will bet you anything that the percentage of Military Men cheating on their wives is a substantially less than the Military Wifes cheating. Am I right guys? ] Posted by Unicornfan
Darling, I've been a military child, wife, and am in the Navy (12 years and going strong) and have been on two deployments during said time; I'm here to tell you that there doesn't have to be a club or hotel. ANY FLAT SURFACE WILL DO. It can get pretty ugly as far as that goes. IT GOES BOTH WAYS. Even one guy here posted that same thing about what his men did when they got away from their women. But, I still maintain that many are faithful (just not as many that aren't). I guarantee that most of the men that hit on me the next deployment will be married. It's not a miltary thing, either, just look at your typical travelling business man. The women don't cheat anymore than their men who were just as big of sluts as the women you're bashing. It's just harder to see what's going on over seas than it is to see what's going on down the street... | |

Posted: 10/11/2005 12:05:15 AM | Well Jesus Christ, CopperyPeach...lookit' you, honey! I bet even gay men hit on you, sweetie! :)
I gotta agree...it is all sexes, all professions...some cheat, some don't. My guy admitted to cheating on his (then) wife with prostitutes while in the service. He wasn't looking for companionship or romance...just relief from getting laid. | |

Posted: 10/11/2005 4:05:27 AM | "I was loyal as Hell and look where it got me...LMAO...I am not bitter but I just don't like to be stereotyped when cheating is a non gender specific trait!! There are many service members who get deployed and cheat their asses off....not to start anything .....I am just saying it happens to the best of us all!" Lisa1973
Definitely a strong point! - most people are likely to cheat given the right circumstances. Long separations are obviously the crux of the matter. I don't understand why with the technology available today why the services do not address this problem better. It would certainly aid recruitment and retention if married couples could get together with their spouse online and indulge in some mutual masturbation, as well as cutting down on the divorce rate. If I was stuck onboard a ship for a year then a once a week visit online with my spouse would certainly keep me from straying. I know there is a security issue with something like this but hey the military have technology coming out of their ears and I am sure it could be overcome. | |

Posted: 10/11/2005 1:44:39 PM | | Lots of wonderful points being made and all about different issues. Cheating IS non gender specific and in the service there are only a few pressures that guide your life. Keeping your skill levels up in order to be promoted, getting drunk when you're not sitting with your finger on a button or trigger, and getting laid. It is all service men spoke about during my 23 yrs of active duty unless you add getting high to the second catagory. It is different today because of technology, pay and benefits, and the number of reserve forces. Guapisimo makes a good point. Canadians have a choice and those who support war join and those you hate the idea of it don't. In my day, it was go to war or go to jail. We made less then $100 a month, no cell phones or computers, and everyday there was a body bag count. Courage and heroism took on many forms. The after affects, mental and physical are forever. If you date or marry a member of the military, they will come home either tacked in or intact, but they will never be the same. Copperypeach, well done..........you're halfway to retirement and are gorgeous.....Following winds shipmate! Harley has a remarkable insight and makes it all funny too. Lisa1973 was cheated on but still has herself when she looks in the mirror. Unicorn was a Navy wife and did what she had to do, something lots of those around her didn't have the ability to do. Heavenlybody, I'll say lol, if we had a homeland security force, these guys and gals would come home every night. JMHO!!! | |

Posted: 10/11/2005 1:57:49 PM | | No I wouldn't .....because of my career it forces me to stay in once province for the rest of my life (without extensive training before moving).....moving from country to country would only ruin my dreams....that wouldnt' be fair to either partner...I would be miserable.... | |

Posted: 10/11/2005 9:05:39 PM | I don't hate Canadians, I just don't give them much consideration. I deal with them because they have bears that I enjoy hunting, so I occasionally dump a few bucks into their economy. Otherwise, I have no regard for Canadians whatsoever. "Hate" would imply effort on my part, and Canadians don't matter to me. It's not a negative thing, I just have no use for them... except the animals, and no matter what Canadians say or do with regard to Americans, they like our money. I've never had an outfitter turn down my money for any reason and certainly not over American policy, foreign or domestic.
As for hating women, I don't hate women as an entire population. I just hate sluts. If this is you, so be it. If it isn't you, then there isn't a problem.
With respect to the GUESSES that men and women are just jumping each others' bones like rabbits while deployed in the various hot spots in Iraq and Afghanistan... you people have been watching too many war movies. I sincerely wish those of you making such allegations -- who think it's just some kind of f**kfest over there -- go pick up a rifle and stand a post yourself. Go endure the heat, the sand flies (not fleas, "flies"), the mortars, the occasional pot-shot from your run-of-the-mill sniper, get yourself bounced around a little from an IED or two and, by all means, go mingle among the locals and see if you can figure out if the little girl walking up to you is wired to go boom-boom or just wants to thank you for liberating her country. Maybe you'd handle it differently, but for the 99.999999999% of the people I knew while I was there, GETTING LAID WAS ABOUT THE LAST THING ON ANYONE'S MIND!
To the woman who said it's the toughest job in the world to be a military spouse -- yes, it is. Few women are up to it, and that's a documented fact. | |

Posted: 10/11/2005 9:27:15 PM | See people-- Sniper just strengthened my point about the thrill to kill that some sad and sick pri--s have!
He's seeking a woman that likes GUNS and HUNTING!!!
Thanks for that!
Stay home we don't want you here! Find your own victims in your fancy little U.S of A. hole! | |

Posted: 10/11/2005 9:35:03 PM | Lazyboyz: good luck on your rcmp app. I'm going for victoria police here myself.
I'm in the reserves getting my leadership training and communication training.
Most women do like a guy in uniform and the assertiveness that goes with it.
As well, you learn self respect.
No interest in war either. And you meet some really great people. I'm proud to serve Canada.
As for the urge to kill..I guess ignorance is bliss isn't it.
Thankfully, the military helped with the ice storm and the fires in BC.
Most likely if an earthquake happens we will be called up as well.
Paintball is fun though and then go for beers after.
Honestly though, the white man kill thing is over the top.
Good luck finding a man that will stay more than 5 minutes.
whew..I think I need some air..cause it stinks in here.
I know I'm Canadian, but that was wrong on so many levels.
Thank you to the positive ladies. Those of us in the military are really proud to have a great woman who respect us as a person and understand the occupation for what it really entails.
Your fantastic. Cheers  | |

Posted: 10/11/2005 9:54:13 PM | But not all men have the urge to kill, in fact I personally would take offens eto that statement if it was a blanket statement of ALL people who served their country.
My family has done it's share with my great-grandfather serving WW1 and my grandparents both serving in WW2 my father spent time in the reserves and I spent time serving as well. We are not drooling killers,We were serving our country and doing what had to be done.
I personally don't condone war,but naked violence has solved more conflicts in the history of man then discussions.
IS war right?? NO,IS war necessary??sometimes, do innocent people die?? Yes,
but Human nature is self-destructive.
I personally think our time is better spent helping those people whose lives have been affected by the disasters of the past year+. | |
