This really sucks.
I work next to a US Marine...something or other. Facility of some sort, maybe the local recruitment/office type building. Well, they've been deployed. They had a big picnic yesterday for family, which I could see from my office window. This morning was the actual departure.
I don't know how military wives and families do it, I really don't. I was getting teary just watching from a distance, and I don't even know any of the marines personally. Maybe it's the whole idea of it. Having to watch someone you love leave for a usually unknown amount of months, going to someplace where the chances of them dying are fairly good. I would think that it takes a lot of strength.
