Yes. Now, look, I mean, divorce has always been a problem in the military. You have a lot of guys, you know, getting married too young to get out of the barracks. We were talking about that beforehand. But it's the strain of deployments on these specific units that just spikes divorce rates in certain units.

And when you have guys that are spending 70, 80 percent of their time away from home, either training to be deployed or deployed, It's hard. Military service is always going to be hard, but the increased deployment tempo we've had, particularly post 9-11, has exacerbated that.

I mean, there's so many things it can do to you. I mean, there's some people that are able to just turn it on and off and put it in a box. But I would say that for everybody, just physically, it breaks you down. You know, you've got 38-year-old guys that have bodies of 60-year-olds. Just mentally, it just can wear you down as well too.
