I don't understand why someone would get married right before their new spouse is about to be deployed to a combat zone.
Given they'll be gone a long time and the increased chances they'll come back missing parts or a Different Person (like Frodo after that little Ring adventure).
- unit91 9y agoIf you're dating and you die in combat, your girlfriend gets nothing. If you're married and you die, your wife gets $550k, assuming you've filled out the right paperwork. For a lot of people that's a good incentive.
- ourmandave 9y agoHmmm, $550k vs a lifetime of seeing your S.O. only a few months a year and a high prob they could be killed anytime thanks to Endless War. I'm in the It's-Not-For-Everybody category.
