Hmmm...not sure JBJ, even where to begin to understand this news item. I have an unfinished story about, 'Deployment Wives', depicting infidelity and promiscuity on a military base, the motive being that women left alone seek solace...

Do most military wives work...or does surrogacy pay well enough...?

I just can't get this whole thing to jell in me noggin....
