“Anyone who believes the extra 3 months will mean s/he’s doomed does not have the mindset to serve to begin with.”
Anybody who thinks “it’s no big deal” to be in an active warzone and be extended from a 12 month to a 15 month tour, a quarter of your regularly scheduled tour, isn’t getting shot at.
rb, you still don’t get it! Getting shot at and the extension are two separate issues. You’re trying to say they are one.
You cannot arbitrarily say that the last 3 month’s duty is any more hazardous than any of the other 3-month intervals. Risk is risk is risk. Whenever, wherever.
Bondgirl is right. Only if Hitlery is in is there ‘doom!’
