Thoughts on Spirituality/Questions on Life

Being an army wife has its many challenges. The fact that I have been a single mother now for going on two and half years is one of them. The army claims that they put families first yet, with all the divorces going on, the army has the highest rate. There are many more complaints that I have with the army, but I will just stick to the matter at hand. Every other branch of military (Navy, Airforce, Marines) only go on six month tours. The army sends their soldiers away for a year at a time. They claim that the cost is too much to change. What about the toll it puts on the families. A price can't be put on that. So, for the army to say they put family first is a delusion and is for the sole purpose for the higher-ups to sleep at night. I say it is time for the army to get back to the basics and remember just what it is that founded our country, families. Any other spouses who feel the pain of loneliness from our neglectful government, I would really like your support here.
