The question being asked was (correct me if I'm wrong):
"Why do so many U.S. Military Men seem so interested in TS's & consistently flake out when it comes time to meet?"
First understand that the military is merely a microcosm of society. While held to a higher moral & civil standard, military personnel in the end are people just like everyone else. The demographic makeup of the military closely mirrors that of the general population. Encapsulating all of its faults & defects as well as its merits & virtues (with an emphasis on improving/promoting the latter). Thus the military has many of the same shortcomings as their peers in addition to added pressure to be the moral/social standard of society. The military consistently wages battles, holding itself to a higher standard than its opponents. So what does all of this have to do with military men continually flaking out (quote-unquote)?
As you have alluded to, people do get lonely on deployments and if possible will find someone to be an emotional crutch. Many times these people (I say people because women do it to, though this particular situation applies to men) have a significant other at home who they find it hard to talk to for a plethora of reasons (not to mention sometimes it is easier to 'just' talk with a complete stranger, all of us on the net have experienced that). Continuing . . . many people while overseas will get a "battle-buddy" (gf/bf) while they may have a significant other/family back at home, to handle the separation angst they feel as well as to ease the stress (nothing like sex to do that). What I'm driving at here is that, this isn't a "Tranny" thing. People of all different types of makeup’s, backgrounds, sexualities, etc experience what you and some of the other girls on here (& tgpixel) have experienced. Though, in my opinion that isn't the end of it, as I said before, "those in the military have added pressures/standards compared to their civilian counterparts."
No other job requires one to go to a foreign land fight a cause that they may not whole heartedly believe in, placing their life on the line, only to come home and be called a "baby-killer", "inhumane", etc for actions that took place that were far beyond their control. Not to mention what other career is there where . . . when someone is fired, they're punished (possible jail time) and given a permanent negative mark on their employment record, that they will always have to explain . . . if they decide it isn't the career for them, they are considered a quitter vs. changing careers . . . and openly states that one can't be homosexual or they will be fired? So how does a guy in the military go about dating a Transsexual (say pre-op mtf)? Does he ask her to lie about who she is? Ask her family to lie to about who she is? When everyone asks, why they are not married, they lie and say they are not ready yet. Basically, this couple must live a lie, the length of his military career and possibly longer if he gets involved in politics or business etc. to ensure that their little secret does not become a big problem for him.

P.S.- Before anyone goes crazy with a reply asking is this a problem I face right now, the answer is no . . . I'm single, keeping it that way for sometime to come for other reasons. In short, I've run with the Devil long enough, now its time to slow down and walk with GOD.
