They are doing what they signed up to do. My son has been over there twice already. That was hard on my nerves. I'm hoping that it doesn't happen again, but he's still in the army, and there are no guarantees. In WWII our forces were mostly in the Theater of Operations for the duration of the war. At least our people get to come home for a while.
What is really ticking me off is the treatment our Veterans, especially the wounded, are getting once they are back home. That is making me sick.

Considering the number who volunteer for redeployment, I would say, not in all cases.
The people you really have to feel for are the inactive reservists who are being reactivated. I would rather see a limited draft than see guys who have done their time and gone back to the world to restart their lives, only to have shiit like this happen.
This is nothing but shiit @ss politics doing the dirty rather than calling up a bunch of dead enders who's lives are going no where, instead they call up people who have goals and focus on their futures.
I wish these rotten @ss politicians would shiit or get off the pot and show that they have a set, by drafting some fresh blood instead of continually reworking the same people until there's nothing left to work, or until they come home in a body bag. Shame on these low life's in congress who have just about scared away any new blood who is considering enlisting, with their unilateral withdrawals, ot their cutting off of funds. The enemy has done less damage to the American war effort than the goddamn democrats and that old wart pelosi !

Well, if Congress votes themselves a pay raise and don't increase the Military pay-scale... yes !!
It always sucks to get a change in deployment... I did 2 back to back West Pac deployments in 1989-1991. Got home from the first to be assigned to ANOTHER when an air crewmember broke their leg... I had 2 months turnaround and went right back out.
The second deployment went from 6 months to 11 months after 02 August 1990.... thanks Saddam.

As a civilian it's easy for me to say they signed up to follow the orders of their commander and that troops in WWII served for the duration, but I feel sorry for them and wish they didn't have to go.

When you wear the green tuxedo you do what the government tells you and you go where the government tells you. Don't like it don't enlist. That simple.
