Ketsy is saying she doesn't need her husband. Well, I'm assuming she's living off of his income and using his benefits since she said she does not have a job. Boy will that be a shocker when she gets rid of him and the money stops flowing in, and she has to pay when she goes to the doctor. Poor little Ketsy will have to work for once. Oh, the horror!

Ketsy pisses me off. She isn't worried about her husband at all and it makes me sick. All she is worried about is having a good time while her husband is getting shot at in Iraq. Grrrrr stupid B*tch

That Ketsy girl isn't a real women she's immature and ignorant

She makes it seem like her son ruined her life yet she is the one who left.

My husband was in the Marine Corps, but he got out after his final deployment in Afghanistan. During that time I had our son, and although his absence was difficult for the both of us we continued to support one another. Some women can't understand the lifestyle that we lead, but what we do is admirable. I am proud of all the men and women who serve, but I am also appreciative of all of their loved ones who support them. Military wives have got to stick together! Oorah & Semper Fidelis.

Andrea (1/12/2012 5:14:42 AM)

Oh, Ketsy....gtfo out of here. She puts us all to shame. She likes her freedom? Well I love my husband. That should be her first priority...obviously she should have never gotten married. Pathetic.

My marine has been gone for 3 years at an overseas station. 1 year isn't anything. Try dealing with "involuntary extensions" and not being allowed to see each other for 3 years. I think out of the 3 years we've physically been around each other for a total of maybe 6 months. Ketsy gives all military wives a bad name. My husband comes home in 39 days after 7 months and I couldn't be more excited! SEMPER FI

I married my husband when I was only 20, but I was also ready to settle down. I never liked going out to clubs or bars, I rarely ever drink (maybe once a year) and I love that I have my husband and son now. But I am a southern girl and it's a little common for us to get married young.

I'm glad they put Ketsey on here...unfortunately theres alot of military wives who do live that way.Ive been an army wife for 6 months and ive heard my fair share of horror stories. But there are lots of strong ones and I'm glad mtv showed both sides of it. My heart goes out to all military wives because we do give up alot of our time, emotions, and dreams to support our guys, And I know My guy deserves every bit of my love and support!

its takes a lot more then this to be a military wife ill tell you that much..But some of these ladies are rather young.... :/ fresh out of high school and already a marine wife....wow...but they will learn to get use to this...its just the first step in being in their marriages...Ketsy gives us a bad name and needs to go far away from anyone that sees this video haha! next to every great marine is a woman helping him push forward <3 Yes im very proud of my marine haha...

Ketsy's fatass should be SHOT by her husband when he gets home!!

Chrissy (10/7/2011 6:39:36 PM)

I can feel for all these women...okay maybe not Ketsy so much..but still my fiance is in Afghanistan right now, we're 75% done with a year long deployment. Though it has only made us stronger, it's still unimaginably hard and people that have not been through it have no right to judge or have an opinion on how people should feel. It takes a strong woman to be an army wife :)

reber0213 (10/7/2011 7:52:31 AM)

Ketsy is the worst person ever. She doesnt work or go to school, just lounges around all day. And then she has the audacity to say she is affraid to loose her 'freedom'. If it wasnt for him paying the bills she would b still living at home w her parents, definately w no freedom. He needs to divorce her cause she doesnt appriciate all that he does for her. Oh and as far as Criss she keeps blaming her husband for the reason she is not in the armyh. The military has rules that only 1 parent can b in the military at one time cause of the fact that someone would have to stay behind for the child. She needs to not blame him, if he didnt say no the military would have. Don't b so bitter.

George Orwell couldn't have wrote it any better, "War Is Peace" is probably the most contradicting statement of all time.

I would gladly trade places with any one of these females. My significant other and I just shared our last goodbye not 24 hours ago for only 20 minutes. He deploys tomorrow and his ceremony was today. I was unable to go because of his controlling military family and a female that purposely got pregnant with his baby early in 2010 to try to keep him in her life. She is from nothing and uses the baby as a way to control him and keep him in her life. Because he cares so much for his daughter and wants to do right, he caters to her. This resulted in me as the "girlfriend" having to miss out on celebrating a life and offering support in an environment dedicated to those heading over seas. I have to now cope with it alone at home. I am not throwing a pity party for myself, I am just stating that the most important thing to our men and women is having a support system back home. For the past 10 months I have let him be a man, express his wishes and desires and do what he wants while everyone else around him tries to control his everything. I created a home and future for him to come home to next year. I voice my opinion and support day in and day out for him and the rest of our men and women because I cherish getting the opportunity to wear his dog tags and have a soldier in my life. Yet, i'm still shunned by everyone else in his life. I missed everything of great importance to me today because of selfish individuals. I thought watching this would help but instead it was only frustrating. People say, and probably will tell me, that deployments and ceremonies should be about one person and one person only, and that is the person that is leaving. People forget the ones left behind and what they go through. I hope to soon find peace to get me through the next 12 months. Like I said, to be in any of their shoes would be great. They should have realized it could be so much worse. Certain ones shouldn't have taken advantage. I could lose my other half and spend the rest of my life knowing I didn't get the chance to properly say goodbye or be involved in his ceremony as someone of importance. I just want to be an example. Don't take your soldier or the life you have with him or her for granted.

Christina (6/6/2011 2:15:37 PM)

i remeber watching this when it came out. i really wanted to join the army but i couldn t b/c o f weight. anyway i saw this and was pretty pissed that that chick was willing to to treat her husband like he didnt exist. sheesh. anyway one encouragement stay strong for your guys they need you to hold it down. though it may not be easy just know that someone depends on you. i will be joining the army next year.hopefully. and shout out to all the females in the military who are married to men in the military.

Ketsy only contributes to the bad rep that military wives have. She's lazy, out to spend his deployment $, and live a life she has no right living.. Hopefully, her husband wises up and divorces her. I believe Mindi only went with the marriage because she had nothing else going for her. Seen many of marriages with young soldiers and wives fall apart within a year. The girls can't handle the deployment and crack under pressure. I've seen many of military ranking women make the transition from army to family life just fine. However, if Crystal is feeling unfulfilled then she needs to specify to her husband she wants to re-enlist. Or perhaps use her GI Bill to further her education. It's not that she's a bad mother or wife, it's just that it's hard to care for a child all by yourself when your husband is off in another country. What people don't realize is that being an army wife is quite a challenge. With maybe the exception of Crystal, none of these girls are cut out for the army wife life.

I love Ketsy! My fiance is getting deployed soon and i havent seen him in 5 months. I'm here crying and he's having a blast blowing up sh@#. I need to live my life, i just turn 20 and i need to enjoy my life. She's just living her life. I think she does love him this is how she copes so she doen't get depressed. That's what i should do instead having massive depression. COLLEGE PARTIES HERE I *** YEAAAA. I dont want to be like the chick who cries for everything they'll never last, she's weak and needs to be strong and independant. KETSY ROCKKS!!

McGovern (1/10/2011 10:21:55 PM)

The relationship with my significant other has hit the ropes after he came back from training. I need to see the good in struggling with the military and balancing a relationship. I've resented the entire ordeal as a burden to the way i want my life to be although i cant picture life without my guy right now. I just dont think i can stand being a "civilian" any longer, I just want my life to be "normal".... GO KETSY!
