If an enlisted man in the combat arms wants to get married then get the hell out of the Army and find a new career. You may not like the advice, but it worked damned well in the old army.

Correction SIR! What's good for the goose is good for the gander. If you apply it to enlisteds it applies equally well to officers. Despite all the perks you seem to think officers deserve over enlisted men, I don't believe the Army issues wives to officers either. Buy yourself a clue. The services now allow all races, creeds, colors, sexes, and sexual preferences. They even allow their enlisted members to be married. That page does not turn back. Attempting to do so would create an exodus greater than that from Egypt a couple thousand years ago. Golly, then the officers might have to put down their coffee cups and take up combat arms themselves instead of sending out their uneducated oaf enlisteds to be slaughtered.
Let's not hijack this thread. The thread is about a wife who shot her OFFICER husband. It has nothing to do with enlisted men. It certainly is not the fault of an enlisted man. And it damn well didn't happen just because an enlisted man was allowed to marry or to live on base. Soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines, regardless of rank deserve to be treated with respect. Regardless of rank they deserve to have the rules applied equally and fairly.
