Really?

I was reading an online article the other day, regarding Army wives and the rate of depression amongst us.
Apparently, an Army wife is 18% more likely to suffer from depression and the wife of a deployed soldier is at a 28% increase for chance of depression. Really???
Did they need to waste an entire website to tell us a no crap statement?
Thats like saying munchkins have a hard time reaching the counter!

Occording to the brainiacs behind the article, when a soldier works long hours and leaves the wives home with the children we get upset. Then when that soldier is deployed to a war zone, where there is lack of communication and a constant WAR we get overly concerned. That concern makes us spiral into a never ending depression.
Oddly enough the idea of becoming a widow and leaving our children fatherless isn't as comforting as some would think? Weird.

That depression lasts until the soldier returns home safely, then depression symptoms seem to decrease. ODD, huh! Apparently there is some correlation to your spouse being in danger with that of a womans mood. Who knew?

I love articles relating to Army life. I've definitely come across several that are note worthy. But some just make you want to b#%^@slap the writer.
