    What the military does best, outside of flat out killing people in far away places: Destroy the lives of as many of its own members -- and their families -- as it can. What a bunch of sick, twisted f**ks.

        Unfortunately this is not surprising to me when my husband was in the Air Force in the 1980s and his son at 6 months was having major spinal surgery they sent him off to Texas for school and would not let him out of it. Fortunate for me I had family around. My husband was told if the military wanted you to have a family they would issue you one.
