FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — Army Spouse Lindsey Ackerman would like everyone to know that she deserves a measure of sympathy for the physical damage that her impending divorce has caused her, Duffel Blog has learned from social media.
“Deployments are hard on everybody,” Mrs. Ackerman, an Army Technical Spouse, announced on Facebook. “But a lot of people don’t seem to understand the real, physical toll that they take on those that are left behind. My doctor told me I now have the vagina of a 92-year old who just had quintuplets.”
"Injuries happen on the battlefield and on the homefront," she added.
Mrs. Ackerman’s husband, Army Staff Sgt. Steven Ackerman is currently recovering at Bagram Air Field for a traumatic brain injury he sustained during a VBIED attack. But his wife would like everyone to know that he isn’t the only one scarred by this deployment.
