For the American military, the Ramstein Air Base in Germany is the central hub in the war against the global terror. Although the drama of the Iraq War has led to a general disenchantment with the superpower, the people of the area cannot imagine a life without Americans, particularly when it comes to German-American marriages. Time and time again, however, both sides must suffer a painful experience: The separation resulting when the active-duty spouse is once again deployed to Iraq. The women, the men, the children – here, in the midst of idyllic peace, they are all fatally and closely entangled with the events of the war.
