As a military person stationed in the sand I want you to really think about something for me.

What if you were separated from your wife/husband in a position that only allowed you to contact them maybe once a week. Let's say you are very close to where the Ever Given is. How do you think your spouse would react when they read a post saying there is a nuke on board that is going to explode if tampered with, or maybe the one where 200 soldiers were killed clearing tunnels. Both of these stories are EASILY debunked with a little research. Do you think a frantic spouse is going to do research? No, they are going to try to get a hold of you, which they can't, then they are going to spend the next few days in tears worried to death your ok. This upsets you and makes you worry about them, which in turn makes an already difficult situation even worse. If you truly want to honor and respect your military pray for us and research articles like this before you blindly post them.
Thanks.

Thank you for putting out your very real perspective. It’s easy for people who are sitting at home to spread news, but not to think of the consequences of the news. Even as a daughter of an Army veteran, I still really don’t feel connected and I don’t really know what is going on out there. It is impossible to know unless you are living it. Thank you for your service, and I hope you stay safe!
