The rumor had spread to Fallujah, Iraq in early 2005 that some of the wives of our unit had been caught running a brothel on our home base in Hawaii. As per many great substance-lacking rumors this one came with the catch that the reason our chain of command had not informed anyone was because they didn’t want Marines in a combat theater going ape-shit with their loaded weapons while contemplating a different warrior's welcome home than originally anticipated.
When we finally came home it turned out the story was true; many of those wives had fled and spent the deployment money as well. I specifically remember standing in some line behind a Marine who said, “After all of that (war/battle/survival) I just want my truck, but she won’t give it back. … This is fuck*d up shit!”
Cheating wives running off with their husbands' cash is fairly common in the military--especially among newlyweds--to the point that it almost passes without comment. But the fact that a group of these bitches actually colluded to whore out while their husbands were getting shot at half a world away strikes me as particularly evil.
It's so bad for betas in this country that you can only come to one conclusion: that the system is working exactly as it's been designed to. If you can lose a limb for your country and still come home to this--and the women aren't rendered social pariahs--then what the hell are you fighting for?
