the question you need to ask yourself (ok two questions)
1) Are you ashamed in any way of your career choice?
2) Why would you want to be with a woman that doesn't respect your career?
There's things that really bother me about the job sometimes, I don't see how it couldn't for any normal person. The military enacts foreign policy. Its a pretty cold affair directed by politicians, who try to mask that fact by focusing on the inherent humanity of the troops. If you see the regular families trying their best to scratch out a living and stay safe in a conflict area, it can be heartbreaking. You've got to work the system to get them any consideration at all. Its draining. Then you get home and some people will categorize you so quickly... well its the plot of the 1st Rambo really.
The thing is if good people weren't doing the job, it would be 100x worse. Locals there know that. Not every army guy or unit is like that, but I was. If you're sincere, they are super-grateful you're out there trying to protect them. Yeah, I am ashamed of the military when they do stupid **** like shooting pregnant women on night raids. I'm proud of how *I've* acted overseas.
I just wish I was considered as more of a person and less as a symbol by these girls (guys are usually more understanding). Iqqi may be right that its a sign of an emotional defect. I should have walked away without a word.
Thank you and I'll think about this. There's a bit of an anti-military culture here and it really comes out in dating. I've put up with way too much expecting people to be open and considerate and, well, it sucks. Thanks again TO, sincerely appreciate it.E.G. You ONLY date girls that don't have ANY problems for military girls. Think of a girl's potential problems with anything military as a DEALBREAKER that you must uncover as quickly as possible.
This seems counter intuitive, as most guys believe they must qualify themselves to women, but a guys that turn the tables and makes girls qualify themselves to him exude a certain kind of power most men don't have.
