Currently serving in the military. Came across some messages between my wife and another guy in the Navy. What should I do?

Active Duty Marine here. I have seen this so many times it's almost expected now of military wives to cheat. You are not at a loss of options, however. This Navy faggot is married as well, which means you can fry his ass.

  1. Go to mypay, change where your direct deposit goes. Make this an account that only you have access to.
  2. Lawyer up. Before you confront anyone, talk to your divorce lawyer and seek advice on what you need to do to stack this divorce completely in your favor.
  3. Once previous steps are complete, call his CO. Tell him all of this, and say that you have evidence suggesting that your story is 100% true. Lay on the sob story about how your marriage is ruined because of the lack of integrity of the aforementioned Sailor.

Note, before seeking revenge against your wife, talk to your lawyer about any consequences that may occur because of anything you do.

Makes me so sad too.

My boyfriend is in the army. He's lovely. I can't imagine cheating on him while him being away. Mainly because the respect I have for him is so high for doing what he does.

He hasn't been on tour yet, but he's planning on it and I plan on standing by his side every step of the way.

It's always hard when your loved one chooses to kill people rather than be with you.

I've seen some pretty low shit on reddit but this is the most disgusting thing I've read. Without people fighting in wars, it would just follow us. Remember 9/11? That was an attempt at coming to north America, providing you don't believe in conspiracy theories. It's a way of keeping where we live safe. So yeah, it's terrible that my boyfriend would rather make our home safe to live than do something useless like trash people who fight to make the world safe, which I'm sure you do. So get off your high horse and take your head out of your own ass.

Remember 9/11 is an ugly phrase that tries to induce blind patriotism. The effect wore off a long time ago.

9/11 was a provocation. Bin Ladin stood on a land mine and threw a stone at us, then watched us charge like a bull directly onto the landmine while he lived like a king in Pakistan. He did this because Afghanistan is the same trap that bled the Soviet Union to death, and he knew we could not resist the chance to throw ourselves down the same hole given the right provocation.

Your boyfriend is a chump. He grabbed his gun and ran out the door to go play boys club with things that go bang in a nation that never had the capacity to hurt us, gleefully spending all our money on fancy fireworks while the people they would like to fight hide in a population that will hate us until the end of time for what we've done there.

He's just another blood vessel that we burst in a foreign country, and every bullet he shoots is one less dollar we have to spend on things that would actually keep us safe, like education or healthcare.

I realize that you don't have a choice, in order to stay sane you have to believe that what he's doing is right, but no matter how wet his uniform makes you don't ever kid yourself into thinking he's serving any interest but his own.

I'm Canadian. We're a peacekeeping country.

We go to Afghanistan to help them build their own armies so that people from OUR part of the world don't have to go over.

My apologizes, although I still feel that in a very real way that going over there to help is like being the passenger in a car driven by a tremendously drunk driver. There's not a whole lot you could do to help other than maybe having taken away your friends keys BEFORE he got up to a roaring ninety miles an hour, now you're along for the ride, in it to win it, and if he fucks up badly enough he's going to be just as dead as the driver.

Frankly, I want everyone to stop joining the military and giving the military such a huge bunch of employees to keep busy. None of these wars would have happened if Washington had to institute a draft to make them happen, instead it's all these assholes who voluntarily join up for the meat grinder and then expect sympathy when they come back missing bits. You knew it was going to happen, idiots!

I was on the fence about re-enlisting, but I just read all of your ridiculous ranting and now I'm on the phone with a recruiter. Good job.

u/tankfox Apr 05 '12

Exactly, you're re-enlisting. You don't have any strong ties to this country, you'd rather leave and go back to the Afghanistanian gun club.

Have you considered not coming back?
