Did that b*tch really just say that?

VampyAuthor · May 2010

All of you probably know by now DH is active duty Air Force. And the subject was brought up on how he will be deploying again from the end of this year to sometime in 2011. This lady honestly told me, "war isn't that hard nowadays. You have nothing to worry about." You have got to be kidding me.

No but she got a new as*hole ripped.

really? no one dies in wars anymore? *rolls eyes*

T&P to you and your family during your husband's deployment!

mrs.vanderwall · May 2010

I'm glad you bitched her out. She deserved it.

Princessn678 · May 2010

Wow, I would have punched her.

Here is what I said in a nutshell

I would really think about what you say. No war is easier or different, it's all the same PEOPLE DIE. My husband's base was attacked WHILE I WAS TALKING TO HIM. Pictures can never tell the true story. So don't tell me one war is easier from another, when you get a lick of sense, talk to me.

Good for you for standing up for yourself and your DH. You and your family with be in my T&P's.

WTH is wrong with people?!?! Good for you for saying something! What a b!tch.

Some people are so ignorant!

Much thanks to your DH for what he does! T & P for you and your family!

You should have asked her if it's not that hard then why isn't her a$$ out there fighting!? If You Don't Stand Behind Our Troops, Feel Free To Stand In Front Of Them!

War is war, no matter what the time period is.

Glad you ripped her out. She deserved it.

War is war, but alot of people have been exposed to very different types of warfare than that which we typically see now. Casualties occur, of course--but face it--casualties are much more rare in comparison to what used to occur, even as late as the 70s. It was rude of course to say what she did, but I'm sure that was probably her point.

I was coming in here to say pretty much that.

What she said sounds like something my grandmother would say. And honestly, I can see her point. There were nearly 60,000 U.S. soldiers killed in the Korean war, and that only lasted 3 years. Casualties from Iraq and Afghanistan don't amount to a tenth of that. So, I think what she was probably trying to say, is the risk of losing someone during wartime now is much much less. Probably not the smartest thing to say to a military wife, but I'm sure she meant nothing offensive by it.
