The woman in question is a mother who is divorced.
For all we know, she is divorced for no fault of her own, but because her husband left her for another woman or some other reason.
She volunteered to serve her country. She served honorably.
Have you served in the military? Do you really believe that people who volunteer for military service are selfish people?
BTW, I know a woman who is a single mother who has never been married and she has one child. She served in Iraq for a tour while her daughter stayed with her parents.
The woman in question is a God-fearing patriot who has raised a wonderful little girl who is fiercely proud of her mother's service.
And I am proud to call her a friend.
