Deployments and a word about the Clinton agenda

Hello fellow military wives! I am fairly new on here, but have thoroughly enjoyed everyone's posts. My husband deployed a week ago...exactly one month and two days after we were married. It has been a rough week, but things are getting better little by little.
My current frustration of the day is with all the Hillary Clinton indecision on her stand. First of all, we all should know by now that the Clinton's are going to vote whatever way they want, and then tell us what they want us to hear, so there is no need in expecting any different.
My next frustration is that no one seems to understand why our husbands are over their fighting for our country. They don't see any logic in why we don't pull out of there. I personally have not forgotten what started this war in the first place.
Yes, my husband is there and I would love for him to be here with me...ESPECIALLY since we are newly weds. But I am awfully afraid that the moment we pull out of there, our country will once again fall under attack by terrorists. Our guys are not only there to stabilize their government...the Iraqis will do whatever they please the moment we step out. But our first priority is to keep the homeland safe. If everyone comes home only to have them start attacking over here again, we will be right back where we started with even more lives lost.
And this whole idea of setting a deadline for withdrawal is insane. Its like giving the terrorists a timeline for their next attack. If this country was capable of making a decision like that without it being broadcast around the world, then maybe it would be a viable option, but that is an impossibility with today's media coverage. So I think we need to let that go.
Anyway, I appreciate the opportunity to vent and would love to hear you guys' ideas on the matters.
