Okay, so apparently my last post gave people the idea that I'm mad at my husband for going to Afghanistan and that I don't support him or the war. Let's clear this up, shall we?

First off, I support my husband in anything and everything he wants to do. When he joined the Air Force, I stood behind him 100%. When he graduated from basic training, I flew down to Texas to be with him and to cheer him on. Then, I moved 14,000 miles away from everything I knew and all of my family & friends to be with him. Not because someone forced me to but because I love him, and I wanted to be here to support him in everything he did. I am proud of my husband.

Second, I support my President. No, I don't agree with this war, but God has a reason for George W. Bush being our commander and chief. Even though I don't always sound like I support him, I do. He is in authority over me and I respect him.

Third, I respect and admire the men who are serving our country. Make no mistake of that. These men have left their homes, their families and the rest of their lives and are fighting for something they might not even support and for people they don't even know, but it is their job, and they are still doing it. For that, these men have my gratitude, prayers, and my respect. I would NEVER not support our troops! Make no mistake of that!

Rachael, I think your comment to my last post was very, very rude and completely inappropriate. Not only did you imply that I am a bad American, but you implied that I am an unsupportive wife. You have no right to say that, nor can you understand what I am going through! Mike is my best friend. The reason my post sounded like it did is because I am freaking out. I just married Mike, and now someone is taking him away from me and leaving me in a strange country without anyone to help me. Yes, I knew this was a risk I'd be taking, and no I am not saying that I deserve more sympathy than any other military wife, but there is nothing that can prepare you to send your husband to war. What you said is like telling a woman who has just had a miscarriage that she needs to suck it up because she knew the risks when she got pregnant, and she isn't the only one who's ever lost a baby. My blog is my personal space to talk about anything I want to without you or anyone else questioning my patriotisim or telling me what my job as a wife is. So please, don't comment on my blog anymore unless you have something nice to say. I don't need you to teach me a lesson.
