During peace time most militaries from other countries do not deploy at all and those that do...do not often deploy. Most other countries do not engage in combat at all...and those that do...do it on a small scale.
In example...during my 12 years in the military...during peace time I was deployed at least as much as I was at my home base. I engaged in four major operations...three of which were combat operations. I was married and divorced three times during those years. My philosophy was that when I am away and the wife plays...while I pay...she will not stay. It was I that divorced them.
I did not allow much to affect me...but I knew those that did...including some that committed suicide.
