What about her family? Their lives will never be the same, either.
Her marriage of 19 years had brken up a few weeks before. My guess is that the marriage failure really screwed her up. I've seen what such emotional trauma that can do to an otherwise sane person.
The family is out. Regardless of the outcome, she will lose her career in the Navy and lose her pension, health benefits, etc. She better have a huge bank account since she still has young kids too which she will probably lose to her husband anyway.
