Am I a total heartless wench for saying this to my husband?
Advertisements [?]
Many of you have said that you are getting calls from the DOD, which is polling about military recruitment. I think we're getting those calls too. They're asking for my husband and hanging up when I say that he's not there.

I told my husband about these military calls and he said, "I'd sign up if they asked me."

Can I tell you how livid I was? I wanted to fricking punch a hole in the wall, but I maintained composure. We were reading books to our kids and I said, "So you're telling me that you'd voluntarily leave me and our 4 year old and 5 year old daughters to fight for George's Bush's lie and for the neocon PNACer sociopaths who are doing this for oil?"

He looked at me and said, "You've been on DU too much."

Holey crickey---is this the progressive I married????

I told my husband, "You know what...let's not go down this road. Let's just not go there, because I can't believe you are saying this."

I'm just going to drop this, and assume that my husband had a momentary lapse. He's always been extremely liberal. He voted for Nader in 2000 and wasn't happy with Kerry because he said he was "Republican lite".

Guys...I never had to think about this before--but after my husband went to sleep, I sat up thinking and I realized that if my husband enlisted--to fight in this sick, disgusting lie--that I would divorce him the moment he signed those papers. It really bothered me to scenario it out like that. We have an incredibly strong marriage.

I can't help it though. It would be totally over. I'd walk away and never look back if he chose Bush's ridiculous, destructive warmongering over us.

Am I totally off base here?
