You don't need a study to know that being deployed creates havoc with the family structure, stability, and some ability to cope with seemingly everyday mundane things.

More times than not, it's the young ones we deem more resilient because "they simply don't know better." New statistics show that simply isn't the case. The article states that there are 200,000 kids in the U.S. that have at least one parent serving in a war region at any given time.
