There are other reasons for divorce which include: veterans returning from war, a partner who is unfaithful, and substance abuse. Many view those who go to war as American heroes and they are, for they endure much more than war they also deal with strained marriages. From 2001 to 2004, the divorce rate for American soldiers went from approximately 5,000 to 10,000. The soldiers who divorce more often are the ones who go straight out of high school, which is now most of the armed forces. This high divorce rate is due to post traumatic stress disorder, but also do to the fact that war changes people and when you go a year at a time without seeing someone, there is often a change that people go through, which makes the couple now not compatible.
