As a soldier, it is our duty to protect and serve. We all leave loved ones behind and no one soldiers needs are greater than another. If the soldier has a problem with deploying and leaving the child behind, when he/she got counseled about a Family Care plan, he/she had the option of getting out. Its not fair to the rest of us. We are all equal and all have the same mission when it all boils down.

LikeDislikeDefinitely, the military is not just a job, as someone intimated earlier, it is a job that has a higher degree of accruing fatalities than most other jobs.
This may seem off topic, but it really is a shame that young people have to join the military to survive financially.
It seems to me that the time should be approaching when Americans stop deluding themselves about “what we can’t afford to do, as a nation,” and what we can.
America is the richest nation in the world.
Our wealthy aristocrats control and influence other nations.
The goal of spreading some form of democracy is a good one, but sometimes democracy produces a Shiite fundamentalist government which is the most undemocratic and brutal form of government imaginable.
As a nation we should be in the fore-front of insisting on human rights etc.
But the wealthy need to contribute more towards the lives of the nation that does their bidding.
They need to begin paying their fair share of the tax burden, not just for war and profitable ventures, but towards improving the lives of the people that they see as only servants to further their wants and needs.

LikeDislikeWouldn’t the soldier have to have a Family Care Plan in place? You can’t just opt out of a deployment. This is your professional job. I can’t just say no to an assignment in my private sector job. I’d get fired.
