I don‘t know how you can say this with a straight face. Many men did get married overseas in WW II, but Canadian wives did not accompany husbands overseas, with a few exceptions (almost always officers and general officers). The overwhelming vast majority of Canadian soldiers in WW II and Korea had no contact with their wives other than via letters. Some of these men left for England in December 1939 and didn‘t come home until late 1945 and into 1946 (though not inconsiderable numbers of the 39ers did come home in 1944, too). In any event, it was not uncommon to go five years without seeing their wives and children. Anyone complaining about a six month tour might want to think about that, especially since contact with wives is apparently much easier via email or telephone.Well folks
If single guys can get F$%^ed over there. Why can‘t married couples. I have been on tours where there was more F%^&ing going on.
The only reason for this is because the single soldiers are upset. Grow the F up. In WW1,2,Korea married couples met.
