The War: what you think when your there

I really feel bad for the men and women fighting overseas and their families. As being a former girlfriend to several members of the army who had served in places like, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, and Korea, I have heard first hand about a lot of the horrid things that went on. Nothing wakes you up like trying to talk to the guy your dating on the phone and he has to talk in secret or your afraid this may be the last time you hear each others voices, also seeing where they are flash across the TV screen as a place of bloodshed never helps. I truly feel for these people. They go from living normal lives, and some with little training, to go into a war zone in some areas that have sub-standard living conditions. They have little contact with friends or family, and when they do, it is very short. I'm not anti-war (as I have stated before) but I feel we need it to end!
