... and one of them dies, is there a law of some sort which relieves the surviving parent of duty?

You can put in a DA form 4187 (personal request form) and request separation for hardship under AR 635-200 chapter 6.
There is some other paperwork that needs to accompany the 4187, but the Ar 635-200 will have all the info that you need.

Intresting question....my husband and I were both active duty and went to Iraq together leaving our son behind and I'm sure they would give you option of getting out.
No laws that I'm aware of but probably some military regulation somewhere.

No, there's isn't a specific provision for that...there is one for sole surviving son or daughter (you have probably heard of that one). However, if you were mil-mil and one person passed away, you would be eligible for a humanitarian dishcarge under honorable conditions.

No. Officers can always resign and enlisted would probably be allowed to leave on humanitarian grounds. The military can always let you go if they want to.

yes, and no. they have the right to request being taken out of a combat zone, but not necessarily an automatic discharge.
