I concur with the analysis. I was an Army wife and I always felt protected and safe when my husband was present. I knew he would take care of me and our children. But I also know when he wasn't there, I was more than capable of holding down the home front. And God have mercy on anyone who ever tried to harm my children, because I certainly wasn't going to. They would have had to go through me to get to them and that would not have been an easy task.

I was an Army wife...

That's all I needed to know... my Mom was a Master Sarge in the WAC's on WWII, my ( late ) first wife was one of the ( approximately ) half-a-dozen people I have know in 52 years who was utterly and absolutely fearless- nothing that walked God's Earth, man or beast, scared her. Nothing.

My second wife's Mother picked up a business and ran it and raised two kids when her husbamd died unexpectedly- women have a lot more grit than some give them credit for... and a lot of them don't even know that vast well of strength is there for the tapping until circumstances demand that they draw on it- but it is there, waiting on call.



To the rest of you?

Wow! I had no idea so many would respond, and I thank you for keeping it light-hearted ( OK, some of the doggerel was a tad pungent, but that's OK, isn't that how it goes between us men & you women? ) and there are just too many to respond personally, but I do thank you for looking!
