At around 3:49 pm today April 30, 2012, I noticed a rather disturbing status message in my newsfeed by the Fort Lee FMWR that read (without the stars):
“It’s the world’s fault, not mine.”
the mantra of lazy f**kers everywhere.

Now I couldn’t believe it and clicked on their page to make sure. Sure enough there it was. I am beyond shocked at the potty mouth of the Fort Lee FMWR. They quickly erased it, but not before I could capture a screenshot. Who the heck runs these pages anyway? I thought they were supposed to be family friendly?

Now I am a Military Wife and I have potty mouths all around me (including my own mouth at times), however, when you are an organization representing the Military and a Military program and have a Facebook page full of not only adults but children as well, this is beyond inappropriate.
What do you think?

May 1, 2012 at 9:13 amThis is in reference to the Fort Lee MWR has a potty mouth on Facebook – I am more blown away by what you have done – you have completely slandered the MWR organization! I don’t agree with what was posted but you stated in your note that this was “quickly deleted” – it was obviously a mistake. But your organization is NO better by broadcasting this. I am an army wife and MWR has been fantastic to myself, my husband and my children in more than one state! If you don’t care for them that is a personal opinion and I don’t feel you are any better than the next by doing what you have done! You should be ashamed of yourself as well!!

May 1, 2012 at 11:35 amHi Jessica, and thank you for your comment. It’s wonderful to hear that you have never had an issue with the MWR and I respect your opinion.
However, I have not slandered the MWR in any way. I posted my opinion (just as you did) that my family does not care for the MWR and this being one of the reasons why. I have done nothing to be ashamed of. I simply reported what I saw. I am a writer after all and that is what I do! I’ve been doing this for many, many years!
So thank you again for your input and your opinion in the matter! And thanks for reading!
