Military spouses talk about almost everything. In running groups, prayer groups, writing groups, many spouses say they lean on one another heavily while their partners are overseas on yet another deployment in this decade of war.
They discuss how to explain drones to their kids, how desperately they need jobs and how to keep positive during the weekly Skype session to Afghanistan with a husband they have been apart from for six months.
