>Stirm's anger and bitterness two decades later seem directed more at the woman in the famous black-and-white photo--his former wife, Loretta--than at the Vietnamese captors who tortured him.
>He said he survived the torture, the mock executions, the dread-filled days and nights, so he could return to her, only to be handed a "Dear John" letter by a chaplain upon his release.
>"I have changed drastically--forced into a situation where I finally had to grow up," the letter read in part. "Bob, I feel sure that in your heart you know we can't make it together--and it doesn't make sense to be unhappy when you can do something about it. Life is too short."
>"It brought a lot of notoriety and publicity to me and, unfortunately, the legal situation that I was going to be faced with, and it was kind of unwelcomed," Stirm said of the photo, taken by Associated Press photographer Sal Veder.
>"In some ways, it's hypocritical, because my former wife had abandoned the marriage within a year or so after I was shot down. And she did not even have the honor and integrity to be honest with the kids. She lived a lie. This picture does not show the realities that she had accepted proposals of marriage from three different men. . . . It portrays (that) everybody there was happy to see me."
>Stirm was awarded custody of Lorrie and Robert Jr., and Loretta was given custody of Roger and Cindy. She also received the family home and 42.9% of Stirm's retirement pay, though the judge noted a great deal of evidence was presented to show a pattern of misconduct on her part during Stirm's imprisonment.
Loyalty isn't a concept that woman comprehend, they are always trying to find a better man and secure resources. Every last one of them is cold, caIculating, manipulative, hypergamous. It's not a nice truth but it's the truth nothenless.

Imagine being that guy's grandson in this day and age. How the fuck are you ever going to trust a woman and sacrifice in order to build a family?

Women have like a decade of high value at best and become worthless after 28-30. Obviously they're not going to waste it on some cuck fighting a kiked war halfway across the world. Now a man who's fighting to defend the borders of his country from invaders that will rape and kill her too is another issue.

Everyone always loves to meme on the Spartans muh 300 but nobody wants to talk about how property was inherited martrilinially and that within a few generations only a few extremely rich women controlled all the land and property in Sparta and then for no reason at all totally unrelated to that fact Sparta collapsed.
