It wasn't the strain and stress of having to be a single parent for Sharon, the wife of an army pilot and mother of two that tore her marriage apart -- it was the fact that her husband returned from Iraq a "changed man."
Have you ever thought about joining the military? I can't say that I ever have and here are some of my reasons. Please feel free to comment and add yours!
I confess that I am really curious which Presidential candidate most of y'all are voting for!! Who's the "military" pick?

McCain. Only to offset a vote for the democrat nomination.
McCain because hes the only one with the experience to do a good job in my opinion not to mention what will happen to the military if a Dem gets it
McCain. The Dems don't give a shit about our military - never have, never will.
fuck that...obama for me
McCain. How can you run this war if you have ZERO military experience? And exactly what #3 said about Dems and the military...
i wish clinton and obama would run togather. if not i vote john stewart or ralph nader.
McCain. The Democrats are going to destroy this country with their healthcare ideas. You can't give something to the people that you didn't first TAKE from them.
McCain.
McCain
I wish there was a "none of the above" option on the ballot.
I have to agree with #10
I second that notion, #10.
I don't bother voting anymore. i'm sick of having to choose the lesser of all evils; no matter who gets in, they're going to fuck something up anyhow.. why bother.
Obama!!
There is no "military pick". The military doesn't vote as one uniform bloc.
u cant vote for obama if hes not the dem elect dummies lmao. hillary is gonna win the primary and mccain is gonna take it home
Obama.. and there isn't a "military" vote... we're too diverse of a group.
Obama
To those who don't even bother to vote - you have lost your right to bitch, then.
McCain, for me, btw.
McCain!
Obama. McCain is too conservative for me, socially, and I can't take risks with the Supreme Court balance. Don't love love love Obama, but at least he'll protect civil liberties.
McCain, hes the only one with military experiance.
mccain fo sho! He is a vet and his son is a marine... He knows what he is doing.
Obama. As for never having military experience, I wouldn't call 4 years jerking off in the Texas National Guard as sufficient military experience either. I don't vote on military issues alone, there are many other factors a voter SHOULD consider.
McCain. No military exp & social healthcare? Um - look at Canada. They fuckin' hate it. I D I O T S.
McCain for me too. For those who say the military doesn't vote all the same way, it seems like there's a pretty strong bias in the comments so far!
McCain. No military exp & social healthcare? Um - look at Canada. They fuckin' hate it. I D I O T S
---
We hate our social health care? Since when? I enjoy getting free health care. Sure beats paying for it everytime. Maybe you should poll all of Canada and actually ask a few Canadian before making assumptions. ;)
McCain
u cant vote for obama if hes not the dem elect dummies lmao. hillary is gonna win the primary and mccain is gonna take it home
Really? Did ya not watch the news at all today? Hillarys' going to take it, huh? You may want to watch some current events before you start calling names "Dummy"
I vote for me. Fuck them all
McCain
Obama
sings I gotta crush on Obama.
I will vote for anyone but McCain. He needs to retire!!!
Obama for me.
Did you really talk down on Mccain's military experience? The man was a POW for Gods sake
Anyone but McCain. He reminds me way too much of Bush, both in his political platform and socioeconomic views. I'd vote for Big Bird if it meant getting a conservative Republican out of office. If Giuliani had won the primary, I'd vote for him.
As it stands, I'm voting for the Democratic candidate.
I don't know how anyone in the military could vote for a democrat. I guess you're all too young to remember people getting force out under Clinton. It will be worse this time around if we let it happen.
YOUR SO RIGHT!!! McCain is EXACTLY the same as Bush...
I dont know if ya'll realize but we are headed for HELL the only way to change that is to GET A NEW PRESIDENT key word NEW!!!
Obama baby!!! thats the only way to go!!!
Obama
I can't stand Hilary more and more each day.
Mc Cain is to over the top for me. He is going to keep us at war over foolishness.
McCain. I really don't see him doing anything to extend this war because he knows what it is like on our guys. I think as far as that issue is concerned he is the best candidate. Obama has no experience and Hillary was already president once and look where that got us. I also enjoy my CHL and I don't want to see the dems lock down our guns.
#25...if you were making a reference to Bush's military service--that would be Texas STATE Guard. Not National. But they do pretty much the same things the NG does. You're obviously not from Texas or you would know that. :)
Why does being a POW qualify you to be the Commander in Chief?
didnt say it qualified you to be CIC I just said that he was a POW. Dont add to my words or assume anything more than what I said.
Hillary if she gets the ticket. If not, McCain.
McCain, hands down. We need someone in office that understands the military and actually gives a shit about it. If the Dems get in office, kiss those yearly raises and god knows what else goodbye!
Quote - "#25...if you were making a reference to Bush's military service--that would be Texas STATE Guard. Not National. But they do pretty much the same things the NG does. You're obviously not from Texas or you would know that. :)"
Well, if you knew anything, you would KNOW that it was the Texas Air National Guard. It's not the State Guard. It IS the NATIONAL GUARD. Yes, the NG is run by each individual state, but it is still NG.. Such as Maryland National Guard or California National Guard.. or in Bush's case Texas Air National Guard. I am former NG. If you're going to say crap to make yourself look smart, at least get your facts straight.
Obama, all the way.
McCain. Obama is a closet socialist and a huge racist. Hillary, well everyone is tired of seeing her mug or hearing her name.
McCain - but would rather vote for Huckabee
I can't believe people are going to vote for Obama! He is a complete racist and has made several remarks about whites. His wife has even said that she will only be a proud American if her husband gets in office. Umm..so shes not proud at all of America unless she is first lady?
Not fond of the choices....*sigh* McCain
To the last poster, you are an idiot!! Get the ENTIRE story before you go making stupid comments!! IDIOT!!
OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He'll end this war and let our husbands come home.
Obama is not a "complete racist". Stop listening to the Rush Limbaugh propaganda and listen to him.
Obama!
McCain
McCain
OBAMA ALL THE Way
Fuck the republican war makers!!!
McCain!
McCain 2nd choice would b Obama
OBAMA!!!!!
I don't really feel like having my husband killed in an IMMORAL, ILLEGAL AND ILLOGICAL war.
McCain!!!
Although I wish I could vote for Huckabee.
Mccain......no other choice democrats suck for the military...save your breathe haters....they sucked us dry years ago...not wanting that agin :)
McCain all the way!!! Democrats got us into this finicial ruin and they were for war in the begining as well. They can't make up their freaking minds.
McCain!!!!!!
MARINE WIFE!!!
McCain without question. Being married to a Marine means I could not in my right mind vote for a Democrat. They don't care about the military, want to close bases, and cut pay. Neither of them understand military life whatsoever, but are the first to speak out against the war and all that goes along with. In the end I'm a Right Winger anyway, military or not :P Oh and if either of those 2 get into office and do end the war like they've been saying, our fallen men and women died in vain. Whatever your stand on the war, wrong reasons for starting, right reasons, it doesn't matter, what matters is we're there, and we are going to finish what we started. If those 2 get into office and go "Okay it's over come on home!" Iraq is going to be overcome by terrorists and their supporters and trust me this country will be in shit shape. If by some mistake they win, I'm out of here.
McCain, Our men deserve their yearly raises and bonuses. You let one of those damn Democrats in office we might as well kiss our extra living goodbye. I don't believe in an abortion which is what both of those dumbass democrats think. If you spread your legs, have the damn baby. If it is rape, well then that is a different story!
Anyone but McCain. I already had 8 years Bush, and I sure as heck don't want another 4 years. Since when does being in the military make you entitled to the presidency (what do you think about Bush and his "experience" - he had zero forgien policy experience)? By that logic, any GI with 5 years of military experience is qualified. There is much more to being the president than the leader of the military military.
FYI: Clinton did NOT cut the military. That decision was made under Bush Sr. and the cuts were carried out under Clinton's terms. Look it up on polifact.com.
Since Clinton's dropping out McCain is gettin my vote! There's no way in hell I'd vote for Barack HUSSEIN Obama!
this is america for crying out loud. if you cant put your hand over your heart when someone is singing the national anthem then you have no business being the president of the united states of america.
McCain. Proud to be Republican!
I love me some McCain!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obama by a long shot. McCain is against every single thing that I believe in. I wouldn't vote for McCain if someone had a gun to my head.
obama!!!
Obama. See here's the thing...if you are a republican you automatically blame the democrats and if you are a democrat you automatically blame the republicans. But unless you know all the facts about the political party you are blaming do not make yourself sound dumb.
"Democrats got us into this financial ruin and they were for war in the beginning as well. They can't make up their freaking minds."
See this comment really pisses me off because if you knew ANYTHING at all you would know that Clinton got us out of national debt only for Bush to turn around and make it the highest it has ever been. Clinton informed Bush of the 9-11 attacks and Bush said that he didn't think that the threat was real so HE neglected to act on it. It's in the report. READ IT! Clinton had our economy thriving after Bush Sr. left office and for those dumb asses that say well Clinton was impeached....NO HE WASN'T. He completed his full term and last I checked if you cheated on your spouse it would not become national headlines. People cheat everyday and that's THEIR business...NOT OURS. He was a DAMN good president and I would LOVE it if he got into office again.
And also just so you all know I don't blame Bush for all our problems...just the majority of them.
Hey dumbass, impeachment is the process of the trial, not actually getting kicked out of office. Moron.
OBAMA!!!!!!! Bush Sucks and so will Mccain!!! Republicans have sucked this country dry with the war and their politcs! It's time a BIG Change!!
MCCAIN!!!!!!!!!
Obama FTW
OBAMA! <3
McCain isn't even really a republican, which is why I hate the label. Most of his views are democratic, and in any other election, he could easily be the democratic candidate. And this is why I hate stupid people who only vote based on the "republican" "democrat" label. (i.e. 4:29).
