"You comments about single moms was unnecessary to this article"

Pointing out the slant of the media seems to be more and more necessary as it is totally being missed by too many Americans today.

Do you think a MALE with similar circumstances would have been given this much attention?

No you will not get flamed. ex-husband is currently living with an "ex" best friend of mine.
Feel free to give him all the credit you like.

Last time I deployed I was still married. while deployed a"friend" and the hubbie hooked up. When I deploy again they will go with their dad or my mother will come and take care of them.
Yes, I was married!

"Marine, Mom, Master Gunny Sergeant! What a combination!"

God bless her. Not many people ever tell her no, I
think.

(I have not served. My tagline honors my son and my cousin.)

You shouldn't have to explain yourself to ANYONE,mgysgt Walker.You are doing great and are a true "role model",as much as that phrase has been overused.
I find it really funny that people keep making these oblique racial-and not so oblique-references to the so called 70% of black children born to unmarried moms.Hey,let me tell you from a white guy's experiences-lots of us white kids from MARRIED families understand that many of our folks were married on paper only and that all this self righteousness is really suspect!

OK ...

First -- I have to admit I can't count.

Second -- I have to admit I can't read.

Third -- I have to admit I didn't look at how the picture was composed -- clearly the folks on the far right are not in the composition of the pose.

Fourth -- I was out of line, speaking from ignorance.

Fifth -- I was wrong, and maligned someone who deserves only praise

Sixth -- I am sorry. I take it back. The 'tongue' is a fire.

< sigh >

Seventh -- My Dad was first (and still is a Marine) before becoming a Naval aviator. I should know better.

God bless you all.

Slinking off to my corner now.
