I'm sorry all but I need to rant & yell & scream somewhere and this is the only place I can do this right now.

My H has been up all hours talking with his NCO's about something called FEBA and logistics this & that, and reality has come home that they are really going again.
ITS NOT FAIR!!
I want to scream but I CAN'T. He needs & expects 110% support NOW........ I want to join the Greens and try & stop it, but I can't.

I just wanted our life back, was it too much to ask, does God punish us like this for our sins?

I understand now why Mum is so bitter over dad & Vietnam because it does feel bitter to so many of us wives right now.

This is the only way I can let this out because I will have to smile and wave as he goes again & pretend its all ok.

Dear Mrs,
sorry to be a bore,
but we're sending your husband Jack back to the Anti terrorist War.
Yes, we know he did Bosnia, Timor & Afghanistan & yes your Dad did Vietnam,
but we're running out of soldiers and we need a few good men.
Sure, your uncle Mick in the Engineers, was in the Tet Offensive,
and your young kid brother
John Jnr caught a packet in Afghanistan.
But we need a few good men, to send to Asia once again,
and we'll kit them out and send them with a song.
Cousin Fred got a head wound in the Bali Bomb,
and poor old Archie, he went crazy on the wire one stormy night.
Yes, your family's done its' bit, but it doesn't count for sh*t,
and if your husband gets back, we'll give the lad a medal.
Now you know the bloody score, it's just another friggin' war,
and they're off in a couple of days, to the blood and smoke and haze.
Of course your boy should be alright,
unless the ****es decide to fight,
because the Moslems in his sector seem OK.
You see, with his training we can’t just leave him safe at home with you.
Because you know, that in his job,
that’s something we can never really do.

Your Prime Minister,

I wish they would send him instead!!!

I feel so bad for you. it must be a terrible strain not to be able to see your H daily and knowing he could be in danger.

I was in the military for a very short time before I was married and had children. I couldn't imagine what some of these young moms and dads do. Having to leave for months at a time. I'm glad that it didn;t work out for me. I could never be far from my children or H even though were having problems right now.

I think you should continue to post and get your feelings out. You need support right now. Hang in there!
Lori
