cekaai, good point.
my son is in the military, last year at this time he was in Iraq. he came home with ptss and blood clots in both his legs, had 2 surgeries already and still has blood clots,

and still he says he wants to go back...... we are "VERY PROUD" of him and all our military.
maybe with a draft our soldiers wouldnt have to stay away from home for so long at a time, if they had alot more to send and share the "time away" ....I dont know...I just know 14 months is a long time for them to be away from family
