KILLEEN - Three Army wives are speaking out and going public protesting their husbands' pending deployment to Iraq later this year.

The three, Brandi Owens, Andrea Stewart and Stephanie Wallin, say their husbands have been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of experiences during their last deployment. They say their spouses aren't fit to be handling a rifle and told to go back to the combat zone.

The soldiers, all members of the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, have preferred to remain silent for fear of retribution from the command. But the three women are adamant and say their husbands can't stop them from protesting.
