Married and in the Military? Some Good News
The United States military has made some policy changes, letting married soldiers live together while serving in Iraq. The decision was made to allow the bunking (presumably in pushed-together military cots) of husband-and-wife soldiers in order to raise morale, boost re-enlistment, and keep army marriages together.
It makes sense. If you're married, and your spouse is married (and we're taking and and wife, in this don't ask/don't tell culture), why not get connecting military cots, or perhaps a king or queen sized military cot? We're in the middle of a long, demoralizing war, and the military needs to do whatever is reasonable to keep our soldiers happy and fighting hard to end this thing.
What do you think? I'm all for letting soldiers get the sleeping cot arrangements they desire. After all, you wouldn't want them picking up their folding cots and moving them around all the time, but a permanent camping cot arrangement should be just fine. Just only allow it for those with permanent living arrangements, and not just every young soldier with travel cot or portable cot.
