I've been avoiding it. I should watch it.


My daughter was in the military. She develped a very hard personality that lasted for quite sometime, and stayed very professional with the men in the military, most of whom she fondly referred to as 'swinging dicks'. So they, in turn thought she was a 'bitch' of course. Now she's a stay at home mom who make her own diapers and is raising chickens and says things like "I love the hippies" (because she see how ecology and economy can mix.)

She went in at 18 without a degree. She had a hard time getting equivelent promotions, (she's considered a decorated combat veteran) She was a E6 after 9 years, or would have been, but she got out because they were going to send her right back to Iraq so that would have been 2 straight years without her son. (single mom) The army told her if she reupped, that wouldn't happen. They lied.
