She CHOSE to have children without benefit of marriage

Well good. Shows you read the article...

Her ex-husband paid child support. Still, she only scraped by, with the help of public assistance.

Good to see 'conservatives' still up on their high horses. I was starting to worry..You don't know jack about this woman's situation but still you judge. I don't know why she signed up in the National Guard but I bet when she did she didn't envision going off to fight the war of the purple finger either. Course you can feel comforted..

"I tell [the children] that if God needs Mommy to go ... then Mommy's going to have to go again and they're going to have to let me."

Yep, she's swallowed the nationalism/patriotism/faith line. God told her to go...

The fact that we have 'single-mothers of three' serving in our military at all is a national disgrace.

I've decided this thread is scary.

Some of these posters must be adults living in their parents' basements and putting on Star Trek uniforms when they think nobody is looking.

Creepy people...

I bet she didn't. She just saw a free ride on the backs of taxpayers.

Soldiers, on occasion, are sent away to WAR. Like it or not, being a Soldier is what she signed up for. If she did not like doing the WORK for the money, she should have stayed on public assistance and kept her LEGS CLOSED!
