Would you marry someone in the military?

Sweetheart, he has to go... Period. There is no getting around that... If your 19-28 years old, I would say move on. You have your whole life ahead of you. If you are older than 28 years old, then what do you want to do? Do you want to wait for him? Can you wait for him?

I don't care how you all slice it, in times of war, all military personnel serving on the war front do come back with some issue that is difficult to resolve and see through completely... Can you deal with post traumatic stress disorder? I'm not trying to scare folks, but I am a realist when it comes to war. And most folks in the US never see what's really going down in times of war...

i know what you are saying- and sigh... you are definately right. my best friend just came back from afghanistan/iraq (i forgot to mention this) and he's had serious pts, nightmares, and alcohol problems...(and you are def right to say that not as many people know about the horrors of this war) i've stood by his side- but he's my best friend.... not my boyfriend... i guess i'll just take it day by day- move on and see how things go when he gets back...

thanks for the advice though- its a tough situation- i appreciate it
