Owning a pit bull while in the military?

Question

If my husband is active duty do you think it's a terrible idea to own a pit bull?

If you already have a pit bull, please keep them. There are so many in shelters already. But if you are looking to get a new dog, a pit bull may not be the best option for you. Many posts and rental communities don't allow you to have one. Also, if there is a possibility of living overseas, I would refrain because many countries have banned the breed.
