I Support All Military Soldiers

I'm not saying I don't in any way (decisions putting them in harm's way sometimes, certainly are open to criticism, but that's no reason not to support the men and women who actually go there)

But I AM wondering what kind of non-military soldiers there are marching about anywhere?

I served 2 years on active duty on the Navy as a physician. I was a pediatrician, and, cared for the dependents of the active duty military.

@samueltyler2 Bless you. That's so often forgotten I think, the duty of care the military has for those left at home :)

@Murmurs I was not "at home," but at an overseas installation. I was lucky enough to be allowed to have my wife with me. But it was during NG Viet Nam and I felt somewhat guilty about the war, and we were very isolated. Only one TV station, the Armed for es tv, no internet at that time, and expensive, and difficult to arrange, calls home.
