The most hated lair on FR?

Lair, like as in a home?

[Howlin]

"Lair," as in the person who said it can't spell. :-)

[El Gato]

His best FRIEND! Man that is rough...

And there are two children from that union, in addition to the two of his.

[lepton]

Well, if my wife died I'd be more than happy to have her marry my best friend.

You would want your best friend to marry your dead wife? Huh?

[El Gato]

If he is Navy, he is not a Captain. I thought I read he was a Lieutenant Commander

He is a Navy Captain, 0-6, but was a Lt. Commander (0-4) when shot down.

[xJones]

She was told he was dead the first 9 or 10 years. Then he was reclassified MIA.

[1stFreedom]

sorry, you know what I meant!

[twigs]

I heard on the radio this morning that his wife has remarried--to one of his best friends. There's going to be joy, but also pain, at his homecoming.

[JustPiper]

Devba says there are hundereds of these wanted Iraqis in Syria being shipped out to Libya and Africa

Not good ;(

[RetiredArmy]

Ok, that explains all the "captain" talk. I thought he was Navy and I have seen in print calling him both a captain and Lt. Cmdr. So, the confusion for this old grunt. Thanks. Hooah.

[New Horizon]

It gets even worse...I believe they have a couple of kids, too.

[beaversmom]

I heard that from my mom the other day--reminds me of the movie Castaway.

[thasea]

She was told he was dead the first 9 or 10 years. Then he was reclassified MIA.

Does that mean her current marriage is null and void?

[pnz1]

Did I read correctly that her current husband adopted the kids and they took his last name?

[RGSpincich]

Greta treats yesterday's news like it's breaking now. Yesterday Aziz said Speicher died in the crash.

[zerosix]

My advice on Tariq is to agree to anything he wants until we have Scott in our hands, then say we changed our minds and turn him over to the families he was responsible for abusing.

[buffyt]

I hope they do find him. I hope he recovers fully. I hope he is able to tell us more about the evils of the Husseins.

[buffyt]

They may have given him a promotion while he was gone. They can also promote you after you are killed in action.

[buffyt]

I heard she married Scott's best friend, also. Then I heard another time that his wife is still waiting for him. It is common for a wife to marry her husband's best friend if the husband dies. I have heard of this hundreds of times. I wish them the best.

[buffyt]

No, he was officially declared dead when she remarried. My uncle is still MIA from his B17 in WWII. He was long ago declared dead, but they never found his body. But he is offically dead, if he came back now, he would have no claim to a wife. But he would still have claim to a house, kids, etc. But the spouse is free to remarry once the soldier is declared dead. I read all the letters my grandma got when Richard was shot down. It broke her heart and destroyed her health. She had a stroke that paralyzed her whole right side, she was right handed, she never recovered.
