This is a message board made for families of the 3rd Infantry Division. When you see remarks like these, it's time to take a deep breath and ponder what these people were told going into this thing.
"I never believed that this war was intended to find WMD's. I believe that this was a facade they had us to believe because what they were interested in was the oil."
"Bush is more into collecting campain money now than he is anything else. If he don't come down off his throne and get this "IRAQ" problem straightened out, I don't think he can collect enough money to get him re-elected."
"He should know all the facts and this should have been included in the plans before the war ever started!"
"I love you guys and pray for your continued support of your perspective loved one and pray to God that we do not have to endure this mission ever again. God Bless each and every family represented here on Support 3rd ID."
"He hardly speaks much about the war anymore; it is all about campaining now. Does't he still have a country to run?? -armymom"
And one war-weary wife says:
Sometimes I feel like how am I to complain when my husband did sign his name on that dotted line, I mean the both of us knew what the military was about.
These guys train for combat and whatever else the government feels necessary to use them for. ( see the word use).
In my opinion it is almost like any other job, the only difference is that civilians can say I quit any day of the week where as these men and women have contracts to full-fill.
Some days always seem to have more obstacles to face and more tribulations to endure, but the triumph is getting through such times and knowing that such hardships can only make a person's will stronger.
It is enlightening when my husband can say to me, that his position has allowed him to grow more as a person.
Being somewhere where he doesn't want to be has shown him, what I first felt coming to Columbus, but nobody made me come here.
I chose that for myself as he chose the military for himself.
I know that emotions can get the best of anyone especially when the person or people that we love are away or not being treated fairly, but I am trying my damnest to not allow the mishaps of one person control the way that I conduct myself.
It's is so draining to be so upset at someone (Rumsfield) and put all my time and energy into disliking him so much, but in the end I haven't accomplished too much of anything because he doesn't even know who I am or he doesn't even give a s&*t.
So I try to be optomistic and pray that the day will come soon enough and all of this will teach me something.
