Reply #123: When my husband was serving in Iraq and I said how bad it was over there

[peacebaby3]

and how sick and worried I had been, etc, one of my ex-friend made a horrible comment. Of course, she fully supported * and the war and I can't remember exactly how it came up, but she made the comment that I was not sacrificing. She said my husband was sacrificing, but not me. I told her that I certainly agreed that he was sacrificing a great deal more, but she was completely delusional if she thought that people who have loved ones serving are not sacrificing also.

This was someone I had been really good friends with for over a decade. Just goes to show you how * is a divider and not a uniter because we are no longer friends. I really tried because she said that back in the summer of 2003 and she and I quit talking this past summer because I just couldn't take it anymore after she made a comment about how some of her friends from her church would love to "get a hold of me" and I know she meant that I was not "christian" enough, but I would be more than happy to stand right beside her in front of God any day.

None of these things used to come up or be a problem until the last 3 years or so. Too bad * destroyed a friendship.

On edit: I had several freeptards say horrible things to me on message boards when my husband was in Iraq. Many of them would often tell me that as his wife I was spreading a message from him about how bad the war was and how he didn't support the CIC and that he was violating the UCMJ and as soon as they could figure out who I am and track me down, they were going to report him because he should be court martialed and executed for treason. Several of them also told me that they hoped he was killed while in Iraq because he was a liability for his unit. LOL Yeah, right. I did get a little scared because they were so vicious and threatening, that I was worried they might show up at my house and try to kill me or something. One of them did contact me and say he had my personal information and was going to give it to everyone, but he had my previous address and I had moved a few months earlier...thank goodness.
