I'm going to piggy-back this thread to ask a question, hope thats ok. Bear with me.
Ok, so I know that there are things you can say at the interview to keep from getting deployed overseas. Things like telling them you have a prejudice that would keep you from doing your duty, and all this other kind of stuff. So my question is, what is to keep people from just saying that as a way out. I mean I'm not gonna lie I would be scared shitless to go. That whole "front lines" stuff is terrifying and I can admit that. If I was asked to go in the future I would say yes, cause thats just the job, I would just be really scared. It does not sound fun to me, just something that if asked of you, you have a duty to commit to. You were picked for a reason and its your responsibility to do your job.
So, how much of an option do people really have? Can you just say "no" and that be that. Cause that just does not seam right to me. :-\
