I think those are tears of joy.

4/3/2009 12:52:11 PM

I am hoping! Either way, she missed out on the child's life.

4/3/2009 12:53:15 PM

so I immediately cried when I saw that.

Why do you do this to me so often, Kiwi?

4/3/2009 12:53:28 PM

mommy is going away and might not come back Sarah.......

4/3/2009 12:54:02 PM

I love pictures like that! So much emotion.

4/3/2009 12:54:55 PM

got to the "she missed out" part until that i realized that was a chick

I'm sorry punchmonk I wish all the soldiers could come back home for good finally...

4/3/2009 12:58:12 PM

i feel bad for the child... not for her.

if you are going to have kids (and you are female), perhaps you shouldn't join a job which will take you AWAY from your child for years, THE FORMATIVE YEARS OF THE POOR CHILD'S LIFE.

i would even consider it as child neglect/passive cruelty.

she could have chosen to become a cashier at walmart (if she is uneducated), and been with her child. she chose to join and go.

4/3/2009 1:00:46 PM

She may have decided beforehand or something, I don't know how that works since she was the one that got pregnant and had to be out for 9 months if so.

However, the Active Reserve is a bitch and not fair to anyone.

4/3/2009 1:02:08 PM

yeah well that's what i mean.

DON'T join the military if you are female, unless you:

1) hate kids and will never have them
2) won't have kids till you are much older
3) hate your own kids
4) are a lesbian
5) don't have lilttle kids (they are all grown up, i.e., at least 15+)

but if you are the average female 18-25 years in age and don't fit in any of the categories above, don't join (statistically speaking, you will probably end up having kids soon)

i would cry too if my child were that ugly

4/3/2009 1:30:33 PM

I feel the same way about men, too, OEPII1.

4/3/2009 1:35:08 PM

men are different, because stereotypical men, esp the ones who join the military, are macho and can stay away from their families for much longer than women can. and this is a biological fact. (it is still not good for the children or the wife)

but yeah, if you are not that type of man, don't join. i know i could never be away from my child.

4/3/2009 1:40:10 PM

dont be sad Kiwi

4/3/2009 2:09:24 PM

actually... this could be her meeting her child for the first time.

4/3/2009 2:29:56 PM

so the father gave birth?

4/3/2009 2:31:54 PM

iFail

4/3/2009 2:33:01 PM

hahahahahahahaha

you should have played that one off as a joke.

4/3/2009 2:35:43 PM

no way man. women are crucial to the military. who else is going to spread their legs on those long lonely deployments? This isn't Vietnam... not many "I love you long time" persuasions going on anymore. Most of the prostitutes are army women now.

correct me if i'm wrong, but you aren't you currently quite far from your child?

^for real. and besides, TWW knows nothing of this woman's background. Let's just be happy that she was able to come back to the daugher

4/3/2009 3:00:58 PM

is she getting her eagle on?

0EPII1 you dont know what you are talking about and should never comment on this subject again... what about those couples who have a kid, a parent joins the army to better thier family's life, and then get deployed, seriously do not ever comment on this subject again

4/3/2009 6:05:16 PM

why what you gonna do? shoot me?

a mother should always stay with the child. america can't be called a rich country if some women are forced to join the army to "better their family's life" and leave infants and toddlers behind. husband makes no money? if divorced, child support? jobs at home for mother? if no jobs, move in with parents until mother finds job? government benefits? let the father go join the army. there are so many avenues.

i am thinking about the kids here. kids should always have their mother with them. a mother should never leave babies and go to another country to work. yeah, women from indonesia, sri lanka, india, and philippines do it. they leave their families behind and go work as maids and nannies in rich arab countries. it is sad. they do it because the pittance they earn in the arab countries is still several times what they would earn back home, IF they can get a job back home. but seriously, the US >>>>>>>>>>>>> poor asian countries.

STFU crazy_carl

And I think that both parents should stay. You may feel that mothers are more important, and perhaps they are, but no child should have to be raised by a single parent.


[Edited on April 3, 2009 at 6:40 PM. Reason : ]

4/3/2009 6:29:42 PM

^ well of course i agree. if tww knows anything about me, they should know that.

but under dire cirumstances where there is no way out (i.e., the family would have no roof over them or food to eat), the father could go. but never the mother. (unless it is the example i gave of poor asian women going abroad to work as maids/nannies, where it is understandable, but still not good for anybody involved)

4/3/2009 7:06:40 PM

sorry about trying to "call you out", really didnt mean to, but a lot of people are single with kids and join the army to better their situation

she a nigger lover?

4/3/2009 9:27:01 PM

Why is this sadness?

It could be sadness. It could also be happiness. It could also be completely fake.

The only sure thing is that this thread fucking sucks.

4/3/2009 9:34:46 PM

^agreed.

4/3/2009 9:39:13 PM

How do you know it isn't some bitch that loooooves camo? How do you know the kid is hers? She could be a serial rapist and is crying because she's torn apart inside for having such horrific but insatiable sexual needs. HOW DO YOU KNOW?

4/3/2009 9:41:53 PM

I don't like seeing women cry...sadness

4/3/2009 9:46:13 PM

maybe you should join the military.

4/3/2009 9:47:36 PM

maybe you shouldnt get married

4/3/2009 9:48:28 PM

I don't like seeing women cry, even if it is because they are overjoyed beyond words because of being reunited with a loved one. IT IS SAD, DAMNIT!

4/3/2009 9:48:51 PM

I thought Opie was far away from his newborn baby......man, the baby is gonna grow up without a daddy around....or around once a month.....you should just go ahead and join the military.
