The link above should take you to the story if you are interested. I can believe these people had to do 22 months of combat. At the end of the story the unit Chaplin had a great quote.
Major Chaplin JOHN MORRIS (Minnesota National Guard 1st Combat Brigade): When people say there's not a draft, that's wrong. I volunteered my family got drafted. The sad reality is that we are crushing families.
