Petty Army Wife rant

I'm really beginning to think it's petty army wife month, between my own bullshit going on and others... Why is it that we can't all just either get along or accept our differences of opinion and act like adults?? I would never do what has been done to me and I can't even imagine why people do things like that to others. Maybe I'm too nice of a person and only get mad about things that matter to me, but if I say to leave me alone, that's all I mean. I won't bring it up to other people, or if I do, I won't use your name... that's how I am. I will tell my friends what's going on but leave names out of it just so I can vent to a friend. If others vent to me, I try to leave names out of it, but I don't like the petty bullshit and I'm done with it. Seriously, grow up and act like an adult instead of like we're all in high school. 

It bugs the hell out of me. And if I weren't who I am, I would drag this woman's name through the mud, out of hiding and blast her online. But I'm nice and above that. I really hate her and just want her in my past, a thought I never think about again. I even know when and where she works out (Steve told me) and if I wanted to confront her, which I really do badly, I would go there, but I won't because I know it would end badly and even my best friend told me not to. AND FYI my best friend doesn't even know this woman's name because I simply don't do that. If I can be above things like that and be raging mad like I am (shaking and furious) why can't everyone else?

So many people claim to want "World Peace" but honestly so many of those people who want peace or just to be out of war are the ones who cause the most drama. It bugs me so much. Especially people who use religion as why they can judge other people and spread lies about them.

I'm done, I'm over it and just want to say::

Yes I am loud and outgoing. Yes, I have tattoos and bright dyed raspberry red hair. I wear jeans and cowboy boots and tshirts with weird sayings on them. I don't meet anyone's expectations of what an Officer's wife should look like or act like, but guess what? My husband married me KNOWING who I am. He loves me, with all my tattoos, dyed hair, clothing style, attitude! He knows who I am and what I am and before anyone judges me based on my outer qualities, maybe they should get to know my heart...

I am the type of person who will help my worst enemy in their time of need. The type of person who volunteers to help animals or at risk youth, just so they'll have the hope of a better life. I am the kind of woman who will bend over backwards to do the right thing even if it hurts me.


The part that I wish EVERYONE could understand is that your behavior makes you who you are. NOT your beliefs, not your husband's rank, not how you dress or what clothes you wear or even your personality. It's how you act towards other people, those you like and those you don't like. It's how you act towards all living creatures that matters. 

We aren't in high school. We're in the Army life, the Military life and each one of us faces our own battles on a daily basis with this life. How is it that we can't just find it in each other to make peace with our differences, to move on and accept one another as we come? Why is it that we are worse than a bunch of high school girls and guys with all their cliques and bullying and drama? Why haven't we grown up?

Politics. Ugh. I hate it. I look for the good qualities in every person I meet. Even if I don't like someone, I can usually find something nice to say. But at the same time, I will fight for what I believe in. I was born a "brat" and I think maybe the whole nature-nuture debate has something to learn. I grew up both in the states and in Europe, I lived among Americans and Europeans. I lived among our own Military and the Military of other Nations. Perhaps the way I think is different. Perhaps the way I consider the key things in life makes me odd. I don't know, but either way, I don't like feeling disappointed in the America I spent my childhood in. I don't like feeling sad by the school funding cuts, the Military pay freeze, the "Healthcare" plan that makes it harder for some deserving people to survive.... It disgusts me that everyone wants to pick on each other. STOP!!! Realize that first of all, the Media is a market-game. The Media doesn't care what is best, just who gets the best numbers. Look beyond the big names, look for the truth. Americans bought into Obama and it has left our Country fighting within itself, falling apart from our core. Something must change. Something must change at the very center of how America thinks.

Stop caring about how something looks. Care about what it is. Please pay attention. Get Outraged!!! Say something. Our men do not have the right, they gave that up with their oath. But we do. We can change things. We don't have to do it publicly. We can do it amongst ourselves, our friends, our families. So find out what is going on. Find out who is running and find out about them. And get involved at the beginning. Register to vote early so you can vote in the conventions of Repbulcians and democrats. Encourage your friends to the same. Just help the change. Help make the Country proud again as a whole. I am and will always be proud of where I came from, the Military and the good American people who care more about going hunting next weekend compared to those who care about the new expensive thing they just bought. I am proud to be from a culture within the American whole that realizes the most important things: family moments, strength and honor. I want an Honorable America
