While my deployment wasn't a bad one, I wasn't and still am not wanting to go again. And the last time I checked, 20% of the US military is female and there really isn't a clear "front line" anymore.
And whoever wrote this needs a severe history lesson. Cheney "dodged" the draft by the college exemption (which is also one of the ways Clinton got out of it) and a fatherhood exemption. Bush got into an Air National Guard unit to get out of the draft, and by the time he was eligible, all Reserve, National Guard, and ANG units were full to capacity of other people not wanting to go to Vietnam. So they can go suck some eggs. I am so sick of hearing conservatives rag on Clinton for "dodging" the draft, when Bush and Cheney did the same fucking thing.
I would die of shock if whoever wrote that bile actually spent a day in the service.
I think the PCS rate is every three or four years, unless you go OCONUS.
