U.S. military wives are exposing
their emotions as well as their bodies in an effort to speak out about their
husbands' struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder. The Battling BARE
campaign began at Fort Campbell, a U.S. Army base on the Tennessee-Kentucky
border, when founder and military wife Ashley Wise posted a photo of herself
online, nude and holding her husband's gun, with a pledge scrawled on her bare
back. Wise's mission to unite women like herself in combatting the stigma
attached to PTSD resonated with people across the country, rocketing the
Facebook page's following to more than 16,000 in less than two months. The "au naturel" pics keep coming, along with the
aim to help army wives remember that they're not alone.
