For the last three maybe four episodes of the tv show Army Wives I have accidentally been on the right channel at the right time, and felt compelled to watch it. Tonight’s episode was particularly hard to watch.
There was a huge deployment. Of course it involved most of the characters who are soldiers. The directors did a magnificent job of relating the emotions that families suffer when a member deploys. The fear, doubt, loss and pain, not one emotion was spared. All was played out with such intensity as to draw us into their pain and suffering with great earnestness.
Whether or not you support the war, whether or not you understand the war, the right thing to do is to support the troops and their families either in thought, deed, or prayer.
They are wives, husbands, children, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and friends. People. Just people trying to do their job.
I have been a child of the Air Force and an Air Force wife. Because of unusual circumstances I didn’t experience these times with the intensity that most do but I can understand the difficulties that the families have to go through.
I also know that there are good and bad people on both sides of the battleground. Most of us are only called to be responsible for ourselves and a few around us. So instead of spreading more hatred, evil and meanness spread compassion, healing, love and support.
