WHY ARE MILITARY WIVES SO PRO BUSHy AND PRO WAR?

Sock it to you

SEE HOW IGNORANT OUR SOLDIERS ARE?

Third we are not over her for oil you friggin retards. if we were here for oil would be paying $3 a gal for gas? NO the answer is no you retards. We are here fighting terrorisim and keeping the fight from the streets of hometown USA.

WHY WOULD BUSH WANT OIL TO BE CHEAP? WHEN OP SAYS IT WAS FOR OIL, HE MEANS IT WAS TO ENRICH THE CORPORATIONS WHO ARE IN THE OIL INDUSTRY, SUCH AS CHENEY'S OIL COMPANY, HALIBURTON.

TELL US GENIUS, WHY WAS HALIBURTON, WHERE CHENEY SERVED AS CEO, AWARDED A NO-BID $1 BILLION CONTRACT TO REBUILD IRAQI OIL FIELDS WITHOUT THEIR COMPETITORS ALLOWED TO BID????? BY BLOCKING THE BIDDING, IT COST US TAXPAYERS AT LEAST $700 MILLION!!!!!!!

AND TELL US WHAT TERRORISM ON THE USA THAT SADDAM'S REGIME WAS INVOLVED IN. SINCE YOU'RE THERE YOU MUST KNOW. NO ONE IN THE USA SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT IRAQ DID TO DESERVE BEING INVADED AND OCCUPIED.

JUST GOES TO SHOW.... SOLDIERS ARE IDIOTS, THEY JUST DO WHAT THEY ARE TOLD LIKE GOOD LITTLE ROBOTS. DON'T THINK, JUST SHOOT.

AND YOU CAN COME BACK HOME, YOU'RE NOT FIGHTING FOR ANYTHING NOBLE SUCH AS OUR FREEDOM.... YOU'RE FIGHTING FOR OUR DEMISE.

You are truly pathetic. Is this the middle ages? Why would our troops even need armor? Almost all fighting is with guns or bombings so it wouldn't do much good. Have you even seen what the training is like in some branches of the military? It is some hard stuff and they work their butts of for it. You wouldn't last a week in their training. The wives are pro-Bush and pro-war because they know their husbands are actually fighting for something worthwhile. So they support them which is what you should be doing. Support our troops! They are going through a lot to protect your sorry butt.

You are a fool and an insensitive SOB to write the drivel
you wrote in your question. I do not and have not supported any war but you get this straight ,I fully support our military ,you sniveling coward hiding behind your computer telling yourself you are a man while men and women die for you to have that right.

Military Wives are smarter than the bunch of anti-war Communist rabble

Because they are Real Americans. They are proud and they are brave.

Anti-War Protesters are cowards, live off welfare, and Hate America.

you know, thats a pretty F##$d up thing to say about military wives regardless of what happens in the world. Military wives are the strongest group of women I have ever met in the world because they know that what they have one day could be gone the next. They sacrifice their feeling and loved ones so others could enjoy freedom. Why do they like Bush you ask, listen to what he says. Really listen and don't just block out what you don't want to hear. He has given the military a pay raise 5 years in a row while your pal Clinton cut pay for all eight years he was in office. Clinton is the one that allowed many orgainizatons to grow to power because he didn't want to act. Look back on the history of many of the terror groups and they all developed right before Clinton came into the office and got stronger while he was in the office. Look what is happening now with Israel. The US stayed out of it because society didn't want to go help and the aftermath is terror groups and Iran and Serbia declaring a victory over what they did. Oh, by the way, the life insurance isn't all that great. Its enough to pay for the funeral and a home and thats it. Also, if you get remarried at all, you lose whatever benefits you get for losing your husband. Oh, and the Serbia thing you mentioned, Clinton didn't want to send troops in, he had no choice because Congress was pressuring him to. Iknow, I was in service when this happened. I suggest you talk to real military wives and find out the true story instead of just comming up with inaccurate conclusions and dishonoring the memory of many soldiers and families.

Curt

If the US has "inadequate armour" and doesnt have "proper training" then who does? We have the strongest military the world has ever seen.

Military wives are pro Bush and support the war because it is what the believe in and they support their husbands.

Please stick to facts only. The only objective was not an "oil grab". Saddam Hussein was a threat to the world and was killing his own people.

So you do agree with putting a stop to "ethnic clensing"? So when we attack Iran you will be supporting Bush?

me&my_gang08

i think you are an uneducated dumb a$$. i have nothing more to say.... except...

GOD BLESS THE USA, AND GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS AND GOD BLESS THE PRESIDENT!!!!! (deal with it)

tpurtygrl

First off your last sentence is repulsive. We love our husbands and stand behind them and their comrades. No matter if we like bush or believe in the war we stand behind our husbands. You have some nerve disrespecting people who you don't even know or understand. It's called loyalty. Believe you me I would rather have my husband home to help with everyday life and the kids but instead our family unselfishly sacrifices so he can go fight for our country.

Matt

Being in the military or a spouse or child of a military member is something that you will never understand. It's a way of life. A large family. Even though they may not agree with the current administrations policies and decisions, they support them and each other. They are proud of the spouses and children and they are proud of their country. They understand that to do the right thing isn't always the most popular, but it has to be done. And since their significant others and/or children volunteered for service they will support them as well.

Its a hell of a job being a soldier and just as difficult being a soldier's family member. Salute them don't bash them.

Daisy

You really don't understand what this war is about. You might trying reading up on the topic--from all points of view. Perhaps when you are a little more educated you'll understand why good, thinking people support this war. Our efforts over there are far from a failure. Many great things have been accomplished, but there is still a lot to be done. Oh, and while you are busy blaming Bush for "sending them over there" don't forget the members of Congress that voted in favor of it. Whether you like Bush or not, he can neither take all of the credit, nor all of the blame for what is happening/will happen.

The answers to your questions are far too long for a forum such as this. Please take my suggestion--go to the library, watch the news, and keep an open mind. Form your own opinions, not just what your friends or family have to say.

By the way, you shouldn't type in all caps. It looks like you are shouting.

lilbit1231

Well, Excuse me-but I am an army wife, my husband has been to Iraq twice in four years. I am appalled at your last comment. I am in no way,shape or form pro Bush or pro war. I am proud of my husband and all of our friends who have been overseas in the name of freedom! I hate when my husband has to leave-even if it is just for training-but it is his job, and this is what he feels he needs to do-I, as his wife supports him and all of our friends that have to go as well! If my husband never had to go to war again, that would be a dream come true for my family!! I have many friends here who are also army wives, and I'll have you know never have we sat around a kitchen table and discussed how wonderful this frickin war is!!!! The most common comment is always "I wish they would just come home already!!!" So please-next time you start to stereotype others-maybe you need to research those you are stereotyping!! There is a huge difference between being patriotic and being pro war!

*~HoNeYBeE~*

this is to laff and sock it to you

soldiers are not ignorant or stupid and neither are their wives. we support bush because he is our commander in chief. and in case you didnt notice, he got a second term as president, so the majority of america agrees with what he is doing. why dont you run the country for a day? or be a soldier for a day? the war is not immoral, remember 9/11, yeah. that's when we started going. so that won't happen again. you are ignorant, and i dont think i am going to waste any more of my time explaining the truth to you, because you are too ignorant to understand it.

i have been an american soldier for 5 years, and my fiance for 3. thanks for your undying support, because we go through a lot for your right to gripe about whatever you want. (that's called s-a-r-c-a-s-m) (you can find it in the dicitionary, it is in the "s" section.)

mikel m

because contrary to your belief they do love there husbands and they know who will cut and run "libs" and who will win so we don't half to go back to find something worse in 5 years when the real as* holes get control

oh ya if you aren't one or have never been one or married to one don't presume to know what they think

and oh ya have a nice frigging day

coragryph

Because a lot of people keep being told that to oppose Bush or to oppose the war is the same as hating our troops.

It's amazing to me how many people can't see the distinction between supporting our troops on the ground, and being proud of them for honoring the traditions of their units, versus approving of where they get sent or the political decisions made by our leaders.

One has nothing to do with the other. But people can't see that.

lost_carolina

Let me ask you this.. Are you a military wife? If not, then shut up. Saying we want out husbands to go because we them to die so we can collect the insurance is by far the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Ever think that maybe we are pro-war because our husband's are and they need all ths support and encouragement they can get? I really hope your not a military wife, if so..your husband has my condolences.

Wolfpacker

What dumb reasoning! As a mother of a US Army Ranger & Officer, I & my Daughter In Law support President Bush because he is very pro military. He tries to get more money for our troops, better housing & education benefits & etc.

This so called immoral war is not immoral - it has removed a dictator like Saddam, installed a duly elected Democratic goverment. Oil has nothing to do with war, we buy most of our oil from Canada. They would be easier to invade, close by - attack & home for supper each day.

Serbia was not considered a good war, it cost 35,000 lives & made 3.5 million refugees. It was called the "war of shame" by most of the media. It was also a NATO run war, not a Clinton run war - he would never have that kind of courage.

Good bless the USA & our troops forever.

HEartstrinGs

How dare you suggest that military wives don't love their husbands. It just shows your total ignorance. I should expect that though TRYING to read your whole statement. You obviously need some education. Other than that, let me get back to the point. I'm married to an Army man of 18 years so far. I love him more than life itself. He's everything to me. We're more happy and in love today than we were when we met in high school well over 20 years ago. I'm proud of his career choice and stand by everything he does. (I might also remind you that the job he does allows you the freedom to spew such ignorance on this forum.) We didn't join with the thought of going to war. Nobody really wants that, but you always know that it's possible. I believe in what is happening in Iraq too. He's been to the sandbox 3 times and each time, I've had to stand by and wait to hear from him....just to know if he was safe. American military are helping the Iraqi people and the Iraqi people are glad to have us there. Yes, there are areas where the troops aren't treated so well, but overall, the country is happy and being rebuilt. For the first time, they can vote and speak their mind. They're not murdered for not believing in the same thing as the countries leader (just like the US). They have food and money and they're getting an education. None of which they had before. Saddam had all their oil money stashed, piles and piles of it, which our military found while the Iraqi people starved. As far as being pro Bush, I think he's a good president. By far, he's not the best by any means. He's also not the worst. That was during the Clinton administration, which is the reason we had defective and faulty equipment. He's the one that cut everything back. We sure don't marry military men for the money. There is no money to speak of. An insurance policy sure can't replace the life of my hubby. It can't kiss me good night or call me just to say "I love you" or raise our child. God forbid, my hubby died, at least I'd know he died with honor doing what he wanted to do. I have the upmost repect for him and what he goes through. I'm smart and independent and very much in love with my Army man. I'm far from brainwashed or anything similar. I'm sorry for you that you can't understand that, but maybe now you'll be a bit more educated. Now all you need to do is quit listening to propaganda and go out in the real world. The facts are there if you're willing to learn.

HooAh!!

Army wife.....toughest job in the Army!!

EDIT: I'm also willing to bet that the answer that's picked best will be the one that totally agrees with your views. It won't be the one with the most facts or actually be the BEST answer. I watch you people do this all the time and come to expect it.

mrsjav

I am a Military wife...and very PROUD of it. I must say that I take great offense to your details not so much your question. You have struck a nerve and you are about to get an answer to your oh so misguided question.

I voted for Bush yes. I would have voted for him whether my husband was in or out of the Military. Do I agree with everything he says or does...no I don't. Do I think it's time to bring our troops back home yes I do.

Do I want my husband to go off to war.....no. I love him with all of my heart and then some. If anything happend to him it would kill me. HOW DARE YOU EVEN SUPPOSE TO KNOW WHAT A MILITARY WIFE GOES THROUGH OR FEELS. Until you put on one of our skins and walk around in it for a 12-18 month deployment...handle one crisis after another at home with grace and dignity, have your closest family member 750 miles away....give birth to your baby alone in a hospital, explain to your three year old why daddy isn't here for Christmas or their birthday or comfort a friend who has lost her husband and her children who have lost their father knowing in your heart that could be you.....then maybe, you would have earned the right to open your mouth and suppose to know how we think and or feel.

I am against the protesters who stand outside our military post....MY HOME and hold up signs for my children.... all of our children to see, that the soldiers deserve to die. Nowhere on those signs does it say we support our troops not the war. I am against the protesters who protest AT FUNERALS for our fallen Warriors.....there is a time and place for everything and that is neither the time nor the place!! That Warrier died to protect the right for them to speak their minds....the least the protester could do is show a little RESPECT. Those who protest the war and still support our men and women in uniform I have no issues with.

At the beginning of the conflict in Iraq the armor was not as adequate as it is now. They have uparmored humvees.....and thank GOD they do or my husband wouldn't be coming home to me in September.

So see Laff.....that is your answer. However it does not even come close to describing the strong group of dedicated women to which I am PROUD to belong. I didn't resort to name calling or insulting your intellegence. Hope this helps to clear up your confused thinking of Military wives.

comcamav8r

first off I am in Iraq right now and I have the correct training and then some, my body armor that I wear EVERY friggin day for at least 16 -20 hours is more than adequate as it has saved my life more than once.
Secondly my wife is terrified that I am over here and she does not support the war or Bush but she does support me.
Third we are not over her for oil you friggin retards. if we were here for oil would be paying $3 a gal for gas? NO the answer is no you retards. We are here fighting terrorisim and keeping the fight from the streets of hometown USA.
fourth. Not everyone of the men and women who have died here has been married. If you are going to throw out numbers make sure they are correct. Math is absolute.
fifth. We did lose soldiers in Kosovo. They didn't make headlines and were not engaged in combat operations but we did lose a few there.
Freedom of speech is a gaurenteed right in our country and if you are a US Citizen you have that right thanks to our Military. So say what you want and feel how you want but remember this you sniveling coward. I have served here and watched men, no Boys who are barely 19 years old, die for our country and to give you the right to say what you want, so you keep saying all you want but when you go to sleep at night you had better thank what ever God you pray to that I am here and the men an women of our armed forces are here living in the dirt, eating crappy food, bleeding and dying and watching our friends die so that you can sleep knowing no one is going to kick in your door and cut your head off for being the wrong religion. Every time you walk down the street and walk into a store and no one walks up behind you and detonates themselves, thank us. I have been serving my country for 18 years now and I will continue to serve because there are too many people like you who won't. As long as you are given your freedoms and have the "Right" to whatever you want you don't care. because of men and women like me you have that right and you'd damn well cherish it. YOU ARE WELCOME FOR YOUR RIGHTS you slack jawed coward.

halfbright

First of all this is a voluntary military and the job of the military is to defend our country and their boss is the the commander is chief which is the President of the United States.The Military and its family are firm believers in something that you lack..,Respect for the President.They may not like him or his policies but at a time of war people have enough respect for this country and its President not to denegrate either.Try it some time..,dont like the military??Who do you think is giving you the freedom to speak your ignorance?Try venting your hatred into something positive..,like a better education or a job other than mcdonalds.

its not that that they all are pro bush or pro war.. They are being supportive of their husbands career choice besides If they do voice any anti war/bush sentiments they would catch hell

Holly

I am a proud Military wife,of a SFC in Iraq.He has been 4 times! We both HATE BUSH,and most guys at his base think they shouldn't even be there right now. I support our Troops but not BUSH! The last message I got from my hubby yesterday was:
We just had a casuality here at base,and the net is getting shut off.I love you very much.

You know how hard that is to hear all the time? I hate hearing it. Support the Troops,and the families...They Keep America Free!

You sit there and judge him, saying the world is a worse place because of men like him. If only there were more men like him

There are many reasons for this, almost as many reasons as there are military spouses. Keep that in mind, y'all: it ain't just wives anymore, we send young women off to war now, too.
One of the reasons is that the Republican party has historically been more willing to spend money on the military than the Democrats. Republicans tend to give bigger pay raises, and hold the military in higher regard in their public speech and actions, traditionally. Therefore, career military members and their families have a tendency to lean toward the Republican party in general.
Another reason is that the military culture is more accustomed to showing deference to those higher in the rank structure, and the President is as high as it gets. It is generally considered bad form in the military to speak ill of one's seniors.
Also, many will consider that once sacrifices have been made to a cause, the cause should not be given up lightly. There is a tendency, once military personnel have died in action, to consider those lives wasted, or not honored if that action is not ultimately successful. Within the military, there was considerable feeling like that after Vietnam, and nobody within the military wishes to repeat the post-Vietnam experience.
There will be many other reasons, but those three will be in toward the top of just about anyone's list. Our military, and families, are proud to do whatever job is called for by our elected leaders.

The military is a fine and worthwhile career for millions of people. It is only natural they back a political party that has a stated platform of military support. The Kumbaya crowd tends to view the US military as an enemy.

jas2mh

well, i guess here is one for the books . . . i am a military wife and i cannot stand Bush and i don't support the reasons that we went to war. i support my husband and his soldiers and i respect that they are willing to die for me. i am very proud to be an american, but that does not mean i support our president's decisions. i am not happy that he is sending our guys into a unneccessary war, unequipped and ill-informed. well, hope that helps.

Military wives are retards just like most of the pro-Bush crowd that have responded so far.

You have wonder about women who marry soldiers and not doctors or someone with a stable job. It probably has something to do with being dependent on them. And of course soldiers are all brainwashed in to following commands as soon as they enter basic training. They are trained to kill not think. So they in turn brainwash their families.

If I were a soldier, I'd be pissed that the president lied to me about WMD and sent me off to face snipers, suicide bombers and kidnappings without adequately armouring me and training me for what? Oil? I mean thousands of soldiers' families are having to foot the bill for even such basic armour as bullet proof vests!!!!! Did you not see the town meeting with Rumsfeld when soldiers were asking when armour for their vehicles would arrive because they were going through garbage to armour their vehicles??????

What about the soldiers who refused to go on a mission because they called it a suicide mission because their vehicles lacked armour? They were all punished of course.

And don't listen to the lies about pay raises. The soldiers aren't even being paid right now you morons! They spend all day in 120 degree heat guarding oil pipelines so Haliburton employees can stay safe. While Haliburton is being paid BILLIONS the soldiers are barely paid minimum wage!

It's funny when neo-cons blame Clinton for the proliferation of these rouge states..... it was Reagan and Bush Sr who armed, trained and funded Osama Bin Laden. It was Reagan and Bush Sr who supplied Iraq with poisonous chemicals which they used on their own people. It was Bush Sr who angered Osama by putting US troops in Saudi Arabia. Osama declared war on the US soon after. It was Bush Jr who helped Al Qaeda recruit by invading a defenseless country because he and Cheney wanted $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ by funnelling tax payer money to Cheney's Haliburton.

This war will cost us TRILLIONS and THOUSANDS of lives... the military wives and neo-cons may not care, but there are some of us who do.

bluebyou

I think we will ignore your last sentence...but your question is good.
I think they need a cause. Without believing in a cause ...these people are forced to realize that their husbands and sons have died for nothing. I suppose that is more painful than the truth. They are trying to comfort themselves in believing that the young men had to die for all of us.
It's so terribly sad. I have two sons and couldn't imagine ever offering them to these useless wars...or ANY war.
