 So you guys have been best friends for 8 years and dated on and off, were you currently boyfriend and girlfriend when he proposed? Why hasn't your relationship ever worked?
I love CindyCares answer, the bullshit meter is working overtime on this one.
This young lad hasn't a clue what he really wants, he tells you he can't stand this women but yet he's engaged to be married to her? So when she ends up pregnant with his child, he'll still claim he doesn't love her? Come on.
I'll let you in on a little secret, this marriage will most likely result in annulment or a divorce. Why? Military wives or husbands cheat, soldiers jump into a marriage way too fast, and these women just can't cut it as a military wife.
You have no idea how hard being a military wife is, basically you're in a LDR till he retires or gets out of the service. I suggest being a military girlfriend for a great while (and go through one deployment) before you become a military wife.
Anyways, there's nothing you can do or so to keep him from marrying this girl. I suggest you move on with your life and let your best friend make his own mistakes.

 I would take a step back and slow the heck down. There is NO NEED to get married so soon or so young.
Get yourself an education, make something of yourself and your life THEN find someone to share it with.
If he REALLY wants to be with you, he will. He sounds like a flake. Total flake who doesn't really know what he wants. He needs to grow the heck up. Army life is hard enough as it is.

 in my experience, i once had a boyfriend but still somehow liked someone else and whenever my boyfriend asked how i feel about this guy, i couldn't bring it upon myself to tell him the real truth about how i felt about this other guy. sorry to say but chances are, he just doesn't want to hurt you. He loves and cares deeply about this girl, enough to marry her, and not you.

 Can't you hear a noise,like a buzz ?...
... Is it a bird ? ... Is it an airplane ?...
It's the bullshit detector !!
Aw please.
He says he does not love her and does not want to be with her. Then, WHY is he with her, why is he gonna marry her.
He is an adult, and a military man as well. A pretty independent type , I suppose. He is also supposed to be brave- and he has not got the nerve to dump a girl he does not want to be with ?....
The reason he gave you- he cares too much about you so he would suffer when you are apart, while with her he won't have this problem, - is romantic and flattering for you, but totally illogical. It's like a guy cutting his nose off so he won't have to blow it when he catches a cold.
I think it's more likely that he proposed on a whim, a spur-of-the-moment kind of thing, prompted by distance, loneliness, a bout of sentimentalism ( or maybe booze ), then he took it back- because he may like you , and even care about you in his own way,- but surely not to the point of marrying you. As confirmed by the fact he is marrying another girl.
Actions always speak louder than words.

 Sounds like a bit of a sticky situation to me. If he's going to treat you like that, back away. He obviously doesn't feel the same way about you.Or maybe you're reading the situation wrong? He "basically" asked you to marry him? How do you mean?
