I can't believe that! How can the armed forces or marines ask any guy that is married with a kid to just get up and leave for that long without them. If I was married that would make my heart break and I feel sick to my stomach just thinking about it. That is toatally unfair to anyone let alone someone that is married and had a child. I just don't get it. It is making me cry just thinking about him having to tell his wife and child he will be leaving for that long..and with no preperation. I feel so bad for his wife it just makes me ill. I mean I knew it happendl in war time but had no idea in peace time this could happen.
