A woman who has been a pacifist her whole life married a marine and has to deal with the daily tension of not being with him and knowing that he is fighting in a war she doesn't believe in.

In spite of the fact that some won't like what she has to say, I think she speaks for the many who agree with her sentiments. Her smiles are brave ones.
I would suggest tightening up the middle of this piece to keep some emotional tension throughout.
Nice work.

When the proverbial shit hits the fan she'll be happy that her hubby can put 5/5 rounds into a target the size of a human head at 300 yards within 70 seconds , and defend her right to be a pacifist while the rest of america is looting wal-mart superstores to stay alive ...

I was interested in hearing more about the pacifist married to warrior angle. More pointed and confrontational questions might be necessary. The current focus is about 80% on the generic aspects of any starting romance or long distance relationship.

It is an interesting life to choose, to be "married to the war". (that is a wonderful title, by the way). I actually don't think I could do it. I look up to those who can find so much love inside to be able to hold onto it and bear the lonilness when their loved ones are away at war.

I like being able to see into the other side of war. Family left at home. Good job, I wish she could've spoken up a bit. she's a very calm person.+++

Beautifully done - very emotional. I like the way it is shot.

As the close up in the "pod," I find it hard not to focus on the cracks in my voice or the awkward way I repeated things. But, the challenges in our lives are awkward, and I thought this piece captured that perfectly. Jordi is an amazing artist, and I am humbled that she wanted to tell this story. Thanks to all who listen and care.
