My husband & I are both military, between the carnage we have witnessed personally every time new notifications come out we get to find out if it was one of our friends or Soldiers that was lost. Over the years it has slowed down considerably but the emotional toll in itself has been devastating for so many of us that it has now been pushed down so deep inside hoping that eventually it will all just fade away.
