Soldiers in Iraq

I just wanted to get everyone’s opinion on something.
With Soldiers in Iraq male and female, if they are in a loving relationship before they left with a boyfriend/girlfriend (Not husbands and wives) do you think they should break up with them so as not to ‘put them through it’?

Or even if you were in their shoes either the soldier or the person left behind, how would you feel about that? Do you think it’s a reason? Do you think it's fair to the person left behind? And what if that person doesn't want to break up and wants to support them through it all?

Cheers
 
well, if I take the relationship I'm in and then placed myself in Iraq...or anywhere on active duty really...I think MaBelle would be the motivation for me to "do what I have to do" to get back safely...while I can't say that I agree with the war, I can safely say that knowing there was someone waiting for me when I got back would probably make me much more responsible and not left without hope as I think I would find myself otherwise. As far as "putting them through it" I would hope that if my relationship was as serious as MaBelle and I's relationship is, it would merely be a big hurdle that would only draw us closer and strengthen the bond between us...isn't that what love is? "Going through it" with someone? Doesn't matter what it is, war, school, debt, death...love is the most powerful force in nature as far as I can tell and I'm sure that being able to weather any storm is the true sign of a strong, loving relationship...
 
Hi folks. Take it from a soldier currently serving on active duty and one that has a little experience with deployments. One of the most important things to have while deployed, are our loved ones back here in the good'ole USA. It gives us hope and determination to return home. Even though it pains everyone involved when we leave, the love between family, friends, mistresses .. significant others.. etc.. is so important you have no idea.
 
I'm not down with Military regulations and all but isnt there some sort of code of conduct that prohibits love relationships between enlisted personnel in the field?

Only if they are not married, in the same chain of command, and not between officers and enlisted.
