I am an army girlfriend, my boyfriend has just returned from his 3rd tour of Afghanistan. Long have us left behind served silently. I think this is fantastic, showing the nation what we at home go through during those 6months. i've brought my numerous copies, chokes me up every time-it hits very close to home xxx

As a former member of the US Air Force, I want to say KUDOS to the wives who stand by their men. And also KUDOS to these beautiful singers. I am 57 years old and y'all still brought a few tears to my eyes. GOD BLESS AMERICA and THE MILITARY WIVES CHOIR!

600 people have no heart at all!, how can anyone dislike this...these women are singing from the heart, they miss their loved ones at this time, and of course at anytime while their other halves are away, serving crown and country. I respect our forces and will stand by them unlike certain ones, god bless our troops, and god bless these military wives!

How can anybody not like this. These women are proud of their husbands and the job they do and we should show our pride alongside them. Some of these women may never see their loved ones again so the whole country should stand with them and honour them as much as we honour the personnel of our armed forces..

These women and women just like them, watch their partners go away and never know whether they'll see them alive again. We should all remember that. The television series, the video, the song, the choirmaster, the choir and the sentiment are all simply amazing. The whole country should get behind them and ensure that this becomes the number 1 song of the year, never mind just Christmas!

J. D. Salinger wrote a short story about a soldier who has a brief chance meeting with a choir girl and her brother. Later, after experiencing the horrors of war, his sanity is saved by the memory of the meeting. This video reminds me so much of that story... 'For Esme, With Love and Squalor'.

I think the dislikes are more aimed towards hatred of the war rather than the individuals who support their loved ones going out there to serve Take a second to think about the fact that they go out there for their duty and they dont come back every evening and spend time with their children. I hate war, I resent soldiers going in my country and my brothers' and sisters' countries, but it is the proponents of war (prime minister, presidents) whom I shall complain to, not these wonderful heroes.

Much love to you all.

It's not the sort of thing I normally listen to, but whatever you think about this song, at least it's keeping Cowell off the top of the charts. The X-Factor's been churning out horrible 'music' for too long. Good luck to them. I just read an interview with Sam, she's very brave. I don't have any family in the forces, but I do know what it's like when you say goodbye to a loved one and you know there's a very real possibility you'll never see them again.
