I found your response a bit harsh. Obviously musicians
join the military for VERY different reasons than
regular folks. And if the military wants to continue
to recruit high quality musicians, the whole
deployment thing needs to go away. I can already see
the effects in my band of great musicians separating
because of it, and in their places mediocre ones are
being hired because we're desparate for certain
instruments.
His questions were completely valid, and are not
unlike the concerns I had seven years ago before I
joined.
