To those wives and husbands, who plan to go overseas, to work in Iraq,kuwait etc. The money is not worth the effort and separation. I know because It happen to me. Our spouse leave in hope to help pay off bill and for future savings. Lots like me end up abandon by our spouse, cause they get into the money deal and the phlipine women over there, keep hounding them til they become weak and fall for them . They just want there money and they think it is cause , they are interested in them personally. That is not so. This has happen time and time again. These companys take our spouse over there in hope for better future for our marriages and family. They don't care what happen to our american families that end up divorce and broken families. This spouse after they are there they become lonely and they let these women, take them away from us. I'm tired of hearing this. and I'm going to stand up for our families back here at home. I'm going to talk til someone listens .

Mine just came back from Iraq...as a contractor and said it was the worst place he has ever been. The money is so not worth it. Our soldiers and contractors are seeing and experiencing things no human should ever have to be in the middle of. My man will NOT be going back, no matter what they offer him. he can be shot at here in a days work, no need to go away for it. Afghanistan is becoming more dangerous than Iraq....it all just needs to end. God Bless all of those fighting for America, I pray for you daily.
