The price of serving your country at war

16 months seperation from your family

Missed birthdays , parties, and holidays

Missing your sons first words

Losing touch with your job and occupation

Missing an entire school year of your children

Four cracked teeth

Guilt

Loneliness

Seperation

Alienation

Marginalization


Being with your Infantry unit while dirty, smelly, and armed to the teeth while POGs look at you with disgust, contempt, fear, and envy....

Priceless
