A few months ago we had dinner with a group of ten or so friends at Outback in TV and with the group was an Army Major General and his wife - he had also just returned from ten years in the middle east. Kinda makes my 13 months in Vietnam look like a vacation.
I believe that in Vietnam, flag officers had to serve two year tours (while everyone else went home after one year), however, their wives were billeted at Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines and had monthly visits from their husbands - wonder how that is currently handled?
Also, As I recall, Ike had a fondness for his female staff car driver after 3 years in England.
