16 Military Wives
I grew up an army brat and my mom was an army wife. That's a full time job and comes with a number of obligations.
When we were in Thailand we passed a group of army wives on a visit to the queen mother's house. They were in uniform.
I was shocked to see that as I can't imagine my mom and her friends wearing a uniform, but that's the way they do it in Thailand.
A fantastic song, but I think I like "The Sporting Life" (same album) even better. Not being an army brat, it hits home a lot more.
Great band.

Love the song - especially its ambiguity. Curious to know your interpretation of the lyrics, which Meloy has refused to comment on.
