This also includes all soldiers in units within 90 days of deployment to Afganistan and Iraq as well as those in units that have just returned form deployments.
When I raised my hand and swore to protect and defend the consititution, I knew this was part of the deal. Right now, anyone in the US Armed Forces is either:
1. Deployed to a hostile area.
2. Has just returned.
3. Awaiting deployment - right away or in the near future.
And that's the deal - those who are faint of heart or lacking in conviction need not apply.
