A Lt. Col came back from five years spent at a POW to find his wife divorcing him because she was with other men. Then the government gave her the house, custody of the children, and excused the money she blew while he was captive.

Super old story but I just found it and thought it was interesting how not much has really changed.

Not much has changed. You are correct.

Just awful.. this kind of thing is my biggest fear.. I have known many military people, cops, firefighters, etc that this has happened to. It is just awful.

Even though she had remarried, he still was being forced to pay her 43% of his retirement pay. She started slutting it up almost as soon as he was captured, maybe even as soon as he left on the deployment to Vietnam. Below is the photo of the whore play-acting at her husband's return with the kids who apparently weren't aware of her behavior.

Wow.

That is really fucked up. She cheats on her husband (and likely had no regrets about it whatsoever) who got five years as a POW, putting his life at risk to defend his country, and somehow, is able to clean this poor guy out with NO shame whatsoever?

This is one of the the reasons why I don't blame guys who don't want to get married.

And now the Military is going after soldiers who got reinlistment bonuses almost a decade ago.

In the movie but even more in the book Jarhead its written a part of this. The soldiers had even a wall of the cheating wives / gf and so on. In Northern Ireland when a guy was in prison for IRA stuff they did watch out that the gf / wife did not cheat. By make it clear to her that her support was important but also to the guy that tried to hit on her. Today women can get away with this stuff.

I don't remember the title, but I read an autobiography by a US infantrymen who served in the European theater of WWII. He said it was fairly common for his comrades to get letters from wives or girlfriends in which they admitted, or implied, that they weren't being faithful. In one case, one of his squad members got a letter from his wife, who he hadn't seen in a year, saying that she was pregnant and what a great development it was for their marriage. The guy went ape shit and had to be taken off the line and sent to the psych ward. The Germans would drop leaflets over Allied lines telling them that they're women weren't being faithful.

Women's hypergamy can have serious consequences on men at the front. It probably does behoove a tribe or society to slut shame the women of its fighting men just for that reason.

Quote:I can't begin to tell you how proud we are of you. The children and I never missed a night saying a prayer for your safe return.

I have zero doubt she was on her knees looking upward every single night, gagging on Chad's cock as she prayed for her captive husband's safety.

In my platoon of 42 guys no less than 5 guys found out their wives or gfs were cheating whores including my own. I got a message from her best friend telling me she fucked some guy in his car at a party.

This is so common we have name for the guy who's inevitably going to be fucking your girl. We call him Jodi.

Here is the Urban dictionary definition.

"In the Marines, a "Jody" is a generalized term meaning: any man who stays home while everyone else goes to war. He gets to enjoy all the things the Marines are missing, more specifically the Marine's girlfriend back at home while the Marine is away on active duty. The reason that they're called Jody specifically dates back to black soldiers in WWII. They took a character from old blues songs named Joe the Grinder (or Joe D. Grinder) who would steal the ladies of inmates and soldiers, and clipped his name to Jody."

That's why they say, "Jody's back home, fucking your girlfriend."

There are many songs in the military that mention Jody as well. Like this cadence.

It has always been a shit show for many soldiers. This and whores never change, neither does war as they say.

During Desert Storm apparently, the Iraqi's tried this as well on the radio:

"Betty's efforts to broadcast morale-busting messages to troops in the Gulf were, like most of Iraq's military efforts, a failure. Her alleged comments that the American soldier's wives were in bed with Tom Cruise, Bruce Willis and Bart Simpson"

I heard that it was Michael Jackson that they were using instead of Bart Simpson. Cant remember where, but probably from something from the history channel.

This is a huge part of the reason why many soldiers and officers are getting out.

Because the military doesn't seem to truly have their back, at home. Sure, you can lose your job if you sleep with the wife of another soldier. But nothing happens to that woman, unless she's military herself. Even then, it's rare that something does happen.

It's the biggest reason why I do my best not to marry whilst in the military.

I always wondered where Jodi came from, neat to know it is "Joe D.".

If the wife had remained faithful (one might dream), it would actually be one of the most perfect and endearing pictures I've ever seen. Could have become an iconic pic, symbol of military life and hope, fatherly love and happy couples. Instead, the cheating wife tainted everything... too bad.
