That’s disgusting on her part. Those wives and moms stress enough an that additional wedge can destroy a family. And many of those guys do get it, although their wives here grow weary. And there are typically kids involved. Unreal.
Many enlisted are pretty young and don’t know the history, and frankly have no comprehensive understanding of how we got to where we are. And that’s a shame. Hopefully one day they will see a new landscape there, and realize the remarkable contribution that they made.
I have Air Force, in the family and from what I gather, they just want to fly. Granted, they are Pilots.
