>Folks may be amazed, but I agree with you. We are speaking of a combat situation in a combat-zone, not peacetime assignment or even state-side assignment during war time.

You two were soldiers and I was not, so I will concede the point. It still seems (to an amateur) to be ignoring human nature. But I already conceded, so no need for me to go on arguing ;-)
