Deploy or 'Find Something Else to Do' in Civilian Life: Mattis

The military doesn't have room for non particants, anymore. There is no excess capacity. Everyone has to do their share.

He does have a really good point. Not sure how Mattis expects to deal with pre-deployment pregnancies, but otherwise...yeah, drop the dead weight. If folks are scheming on ways to avoid deployment, then they shouldn't be in the military.

If I could start over definitely would have gone active duty right out of high school.
