It's worse than it would be if he was studying or working a regular job abroad because, if he really really wanted to, he could take a week off from school, come home, get things sorted out with the dog, and then go back without much penalty beyond the cost of airfare. Soldiers can't do that. But I agree it's not much

The soldier being there is 0 reflection of what he thinks about the assignment. He is fulfilling a duty asked of him by our country (whether or not we personally like/agree with that duty).

I can't figure out why, if she's 19, she feels the need to be kidnapped when she is legally allowed to walk out of the house at any time. Of course, I've never wanted to plot a murder either, so maybe I'm just not getting it on a lot of levels.

Seriously I live here and I'm trying to see the fiscally responsible things the GOP is bringing to the table (IE: Getting Detroit out of bankruptcy, the so called 'Grand Bargain' and the bi-partisanship it represents....)
