I think part of it, when telling your experiences to family and friends is that they can't really relate. Aside from military folks or those who have jobs related to the military, how many people do you know that have never even left their home state, much less the country? I still have people I went to school with in Ohio who grew up in the same county and are still working there to this day. They have no real concept of what life is like in another country aside from what they may see on TV or read in the news.
