I would suggest that Senator Obama change shoes with me for just one day, and see what it means."

The article it self focuses more on the overall strain of the war on current military families and is one of the few i have read that in my opinion gives an accurate portrayal of the feelings of many military families.
As for Cindy's comment i think it was crass and offensive not to mention her husband also voted no for a different version of the same bill.
I'd love to see Cindy change shoes with military spouse for a day, instead of Obama being her. In fact I think a lot of politicians could benefit from a day in the shoes of a military spouse. |
You think there's a significant difference emotionally between being a military spouse and a military parent?
