I take offense to your blanket statement.
Except it's true and if you're retired Army, you know it as well as this active duty Sailor does.
I see it all the time. The divorce rate in the military is horrible. Infidelity during deployments by one or both spouses is rampant.
You're married to the same women as when you were active duty? Congrats! So am I. But let's be honest. The military sets their service members up for failure when it comes to marriage. First and foremost by adding a financial incentive to get married. I see it all the time. Guys barely out of high school marry girls barely out of high school so that they can get dependent BAH and move into an apartment out of the barracks. Long deployments away, long working hours at home, money in the bank an independence and freedom for a young spouse who has yet to sow her wild oats and we all know what happens.
I see it all the time. All the time. I could write a book on marriage disasters I've seen during my 11+ years so far in the U.S. navy.
Blanket statement? Sure. And for the most part, an accurate one.
Bingo!
