I think this is a great show for adults and teenagers. I tivo it and watch it while my daughter takes a nap.

i am a army wife... this movie so much show me how wives/husbands feeling and children feeling, my husband is currently in iraq and im takin care of our daugther 1 month old. I learn so much from that movie.. I think it should help wives/husbands who never have been before with army husband. It would 100% help wives/husbands who never been with army who delopyment to iraq. it helpful to watch and see how thing goes on. I hope everything would help new wives/husbands with their delpoyment husband/wives. support our troops and pray our troops safe!!

I was active duty Air Force and married to an active duty Air Force Sergeant. While I do see a lot of creative license being taken (the XO's wife is probably not going to be great buddies with an E-2's wife), I see a lot of reality as well. I had friends from all walks of life and worked on projects with the wives of enlisted and officers alike. Yes, by the way we did buy our husband's deployment clothing supplies (me, just cause it was easier to buy mine and his together). The gossip can run rampant, and whether anyone wants to admit it or not, cheating is an issue not only with the ones left home, but the ones on deployment as well. Appropriate fodder for children? No. It would be a huge bore to them anyway. Yes, it's a soapy guilty pleasure for a Sunday night. :)

I love the show and it finally puts out there the hardships that the wife has to go through while her husband or wife is away. I know because I had to give birth to my daughter while my husband was deployed in Iraq. It shows what we must do, and that we have to be strong for the other. Its hard to deal with deployment it shows that and makes you realize that bad things do happen over there. So all I can end with is Support our Troops and Pray for Their Safety!

In the real world, these army wives wouldn't survive a day. They just aren't tough enough. Officer wives DO NOT hang out with enlisted wives EVER!! What a wife does or doesn't do has no bearing on whether her husband makes rank, as suggested in the first episode. Wives do not shop for the husbands specific deployment items. Things like this are just ridiculous, and give military wives a bad name. Also, we don't hang back and cheat on our husbands while they are gone (the show hasn't said that yet, but I am sure its coming) And when bad things happen to our husbands, we know it long before it hits CNN. What we do is ferociously protect our families, our children and our friends, just as our spouses ferociously protect the United States of America.

I am a military wife and this is a great show. I can identify with some of the things not all of course. I think it is a must see show for all military spouses. This is great and I am glad they came out with something for military spouses. I think that they should ask military spouses about some of the issues and do the shows on that. It is a great show that I can see being on for a long time.

I was horrified as I watched the treatment of how Army wives and on-duty women are supposed to behave. A female Lt. Col having sex in a bathroom stall; a young wife who spilled on her dress walking around in the ladies room in a thong. Come on! If you want to show the lives of Army wives and women in the military, tell the story without cheap sex shots.

I would like to se this issue from both sides of the same coin.Thusbands with out the wifes and vies versa

As a real life Army wife, I was really disappointed with the show. Yes, the characters represented traditional Army wife stereotypes, but there were a TON of inconsistencies and situations that would NEVER happen. NOne of the characters represented the "Average" military wife.

i love army wives so much im a big fan of army wives it really isn't inaprprite but it is a great drama.

I'm not sure how realistic it is, but it's great TV! I can't wait till next season! Not only does this show emphasize the hardships of the enlisted and their spouses, but it also brings light to how the Iraq War has rocked the boat we call our country.
