You know what sucks is that if he's in a "deploying unit" there's tiny, tiny little clauses in their contracts that state that at anytime, the US Army may hold you past contract regardless of circumstances. My best friend is in the Army and that's another facet of the US life that needs some dire restructuring.
I just don't know what to think about all of this, it seems surreal.
Yeah. It's so sad that things like this happen. It hurts my heart. Egh.
