    Why are we putting the geo-bachelor life on a pedestal and laughing about it? This should not be a goal for any marriage. If we want to attract and recruit the next generation of quality human beings, we shouldn’t be glorifying a marriage where the couple hasn’t shared domicile for a year. Poor representation of the military in this one.
