Would you marry someone in the military?

I went through highs and lows emotionally and physically because of that relationship. KillarneyRose knows, she's been through every shopping spree I went through just to get temporary happiness...although I did get a few nice manicures/pedicures/Kate Spade purses.

With this war going on, I don't think I could marry a man in the military, not right now anyway. I wouldn't rule it out, though. I guess it'd depend on what kind of man he is.

I get pissed off whenever I hear about a woman being into military men for the sole purpose of getting married. They think they've got it made...you know, free benefits, free housing, etc. Please. I see a LOT of them at the E-Club and other places frequented by military guys.

But damn, I really do have something for men in uniform.

Wow, I posted this over three years ago.

So now three years later, would I marry someone in the military?

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

If I fall in love with someone, he's getting out before we say 'I do.'
