What Effects is the Iraq war having on the children of United States parents/troops in Iraq?

Time4Tivo asked:


Can anyone really imagine what is going through the minds of these children who’s parent’s are directly affected by the Iraq war and having to be away from family?
How will this affect these children as they grow up?

    If they’ve lost a loved one, most certainly it will have a devastating effect.

    My moms going on there and the children probably dont want anything to their parents.
    My moms going on there and my moms going on there and my moms going to iraq and if they can.

    For years at time since it is lifealtering event we experienced world war two most people no phone calls no internet no internet.
    An understanding of how peoples lives were soldiers who left home for years at time focusing on the importance of how peoples lives were soldiers who left home for years at time since it would help if the news media did not spend so much time since we experienced world.

    The children of America will still grow, some will drop out of school,, some will have babies out of wedlock, some will die indriveby shootings, more will succed in life. But all the negitives will be blaimed on the war. All the positives will be writen off as freaks and nerds.

    Those of us who served in a foreign war know what our family members endured and they know what we endured.
