One storyline in the series reveals that a female civilian employee at the army base is in a romantic relationship with a female soldier, complete with an onscreen kiss. Financial problems and alcohol and drug addictions are also dealt with on the show.Īrmy Wives highlights the very pertinent issue of homophobia in the military. The four women and Roland (the man) become close friends and we see them together with their spouses and other characters as they face issues such as deployments, abuse, hostage situations, adultery, post-traumatic stress disorder, death and loss of friends and loved ones in combat.
The storylines are great, well written and believable. In real life enlisted wives and officer wives don’t mingle neither do enlisted personnel and officers.
The kind that transcends rank it features women from different walks of life and with very different outlooks. The message really rings close to home, having a sister who is a real life Army wife and knowing her daily struggles as a result.Īrmy Wives’ central theme is friendship. It captures the challenges military families endure and the bravery they and their loved ones display while serving their country. This show was relevant and timely as it premiered during the time the United States was sending its troops to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It gives the audience a well-rounded portrayal of military life although some storylines have been disputed by real life soldiers and their spouses. It’s loosely based on a book by Tanya Biank. The show follows the lives of four army wives, one army husband (wonder if he gets offended by the show’s title) and their families. It will be seven years this June since Army Wives premiered.
