And what kind of heartless asshole sends the very people who asked to go back, over and over and over. And here's the real evil. Sure, the leadership deployed, and they took fire and they took lives and they took advantage. But how many tours? This is stupid, and you're not just breaking the force, you're tearing the heart out of people who want to serve. And for what?
