Military families anxious about unknowns of Iran war, proud of their service members
In the military-heavy communities surrounding Fort Campbell, the war in Iran is on a lot of people's minds. The sprawling U.S. Army base that straddles the Tennessee-Kentucky line is home to the 101st Airborne Division, which has sent tens of thousands of troops to Iraq and Afghanistan. Juan Munoz is an Army veteran who now works as a career counselor for those leaving the military. He says families in the area have mixed emotions about this new conflict. Many younger soldiers are excited to deploy, while their loved ones are proud of their service but worry about their safety. Meanwhile, some combat veterans say they fear the possibility of a prolonged conflict.
