Oh, by the way, combat isn't sitting on a ship and just being away from your family that is nothing more than a deployment like you said, combat is another story completely. You or anyone who bashes someone for what you call just missing home, is dead wrong and has no clue about fighting a war. There is so much you don't know and never will know and until you do, don't sit there from the warmth and comfort of your boats or living rooms and and pretend you know what combat is or ever question someone who does.
Squishy - it's like joining an exclusive club and then finding out the rules and regulations aren't exactly what you were expecting and the stakes are much higher. Some find strength and abilities they never knew they possessed. A few find they don't have what it takes. The fact is that unless you LIVE the experience you can not understand the experience. I live as a mom whose sons put their life on the line for all of us. I will never truly know my son's experience. The Rock, Tru Conch and all who are there are, in part, there so that we DON"T ever have to incorporate these experiences into our own life and our personal reality. Sometimes we just have to understand that we will never understand and be thankful to those who are making that possible.
