As someone who grew up in a military town, I have met and gotten to know many war brides.
Now, the “war bride” phenomenon is one few want to talk about, or acknowledge, as it speaks to a part of woman’s nature that men cannot fathom and many women don’t want to admit, that yet is part of the female internal program.
In short, in times of war, women respond to conquest by adapting to the new reality. They will marry soldiers who recently killed their kin and fathers and sons and brothers. Because the harsh reality is, if they do not find a protector, they are as good as dead.
If they cannot line up such a protector for themselves because of age (post menopause) they will try to align such a match for their younger female kin like everyone’s survival depends upon it, because in a very real way it does.
All of the true war brides I have known (not just women who married American G.I’s stationed in their area in peacetime) all had a certain air to them, an air of regret and unhappiness. An empty, soulless look to their eyes. They survived, yes. But there was a high price to pay.
Women today are quite detached from the reality that all that stands between them and choosing war bride or death are their countrymen.
Trust me, your countrymen are the way to go. Always. Cherish them. Be loyal, supportive and true to them in good times and bad. Bring them tea and sandwiches. Have their back. And be sure to build them up. Little gestures they are, but to men they mean so, so, so much.
If not, your future is as (in)secure as the direction of the latest wind.
Let those who have ears hear.
Modern women have forgotten this, presuming the state will always be there to send checks to them in the mail. I wish it weren’t so but, loyalty to men is sadly lacking. I am sure that Ton can speak at length about military dependents and the tricks they pull on their loyal husbands. For myself, I don’t want to know any more.
With women supposedly in combat, wonder if “war husbands” there will be I do
Government check always be there it will
Yoda,
If women ever have to go into combat, it will be absolutely amazing how many of them get pregnant before deployment.
Why always emphasize loyalty in women societal rules did
n ever have to go into combat, it will be absolutely amazing how many of them get pregnant before deployment.
Surely for the sake of producing new soldiers it would be
Yoda,
If it is for producing new soldiers, I hope our opponents are patient.
In Gulf War round one back in the 90’s something like 80% of the women troops got knocked up with around 40% of them getting abortions after returning stateside
The 1st report about women and the war was all bad. It was quickly scrubbed and rewritten
The main protagonist of Arthur Koestler’s novel ‘The Age of Longing’ is a girl who is unable to be sexually attracted to any of the American or European men she has met, but falls hard for a committed Russian Communist (this was written in 1950). Koestler makes it clear that the reason is the West’s lack of civilizational self-confidence: Hydie’s Communist lover (Fedya) represents the future, but the American and French men represent only the past.
I reviewed the book at my post Sleeping with the Enemy:

See also this post by the late Dr David Yeagley, a Comanche Indian who blogged under the name Bad Eagle. He cites a short story about women in a German-occupied French village in 1941, and wonders about one of his students: ‘Who had conquered Rachel’s people? What had led her to disrespect them? Why did she behave like a woman of a defeated tribe?’

“Women today are quite detached from the reality that all that stands between them and choosing war bride or death are their countrymen.”
Unfortunately for them, their countrymen went MGTOW. So no, there is no one standing between them and their destined war bride or death fate. They brought it upon themselves, can’t fix stupid.
this is perhaps the best thing I have ever read. it applies not only to a defeated tribe, but to a man who has been defeated in the eyes of a woman. loyalty is much more fluid with women, than it is with men.
but then, that’s not really loyalty at all. is it?

To what extent is this due to them having married a non-optimal man for survival reasons, *versus* to what extent due to the psychological strain on most any immigrant, male or female, who has had to leave friends/family/culture behind?
The latter cluster of emotions is well portrayed in this song by Tom Russell: The Old Northern Shore
