I can't really think of anything positive right now (give me a second) as my husband prepares for a fourth deployment. Last mentioned leave date was my birthday so thats now just another day. My 8 yr old everyday tells us she doesn't want her daddy to leave and I have to suck it up and tell her that is his job and without it we wouldn't have been able to have the nice home or 4 horses that we do have. I really want to cry with her and say its all unfair when I see so many people "support" the war but refuse recruiters in their schools or homes. I get angry at the politicians when I hear from my spouse that he was yelled at for "violating" some UN rule because he needed to save his buddies ass. I hurt when I hear that my husband can remember the clothes people were wearing, down to the color and style, but not their faces because they were placing IEDs.
Finding out that your husband held the record in the unit for having the most rocket propelled grenades shot at him is extremely stressfull. And what angers me the most is that if you ask ANY soldier currently fighting if a troop surge would work they would say yes. We have a commander in cheif more worried about his image than the mess that is happening right now. I certainly wouldn't want to be the person that sends in more troops to become casulties, but in the long run the current level does nothing for what we are trying to accomplish over there and in my unprofessional opinion we either need to shit or get off the pot!!
Ok now for some positives. We have healthcare, if my kids get sick I can take them to get care, yes I do have to fight them sometimes. We have a steady income. I don't have to worry about him losing his job. And most importantly he has made it back three times and hope for a fourth. I love my husband and support him in whatever he chooses. This is what he has chosen to do. I couldn't imagine my life any other way and am extremely proud of him, those that have gone before him, and those that choose to go after him.
