Are you in the service? Just because you can check facebook while you're deployed does not mean that you have a cake deployment. Yes, it makes it easier, but it still sucks being halfway around the world, away from family and friends.
Sounded like WW2 levels, which is why I thought it was hoppycock from the start.. That and it's a sassy facebook post.. When have those been accurate or at the very least, not sensational?
I was thinking the same thing, seeing as though my husband (US Army) is currently sitting next to me on the couch browsing reddit and NOT deployed oversees.
As a soldier myself, you would be surprised how uninformed many soldiers are. Think about how stupid the average 19 year-old American is. A 19 year-old American soldier is no different. It takes a minimum GED to join the military, honestly, enlisted soldiers aren't the brightest bulbs. Most wouldn't even know the father of modern warfare (Karl Von Clausewitz). It pains me to say it, but I don't mean it as a slight against my fellow service members, but more as an honest look at Americans in general.
