"If this was real it would have been reported in the media by now. It obviously isn’t."
Did you sleep through the John Edwards non-reporting affair?
If this was a real event, the media would have reported on it by now. Granted, I only have access to the Internet. I don't own a TV because I have no place to put it (I only have about 50 sq. ft. of living space). It is the price I pay for being junior enlisted and unmarried. The Army cares much more about married than unmarried soldiers. Imagine having to live for several years with another person (not necessarily and everything you two own inside a small bedroom as your only property. But if you instead live with your wife, instead of your roommate, you will instead get literally 10 times as much living space, even if you are just a lowly E-2.
