The Army sticks to one year deployments

How do you feel about the announcement by the Department of Defense that the US Army is continuing with one (1) year deployments to Iraq & Afghanistan? Not the war itself, but what the year deployments will mean to the service members and their familys? For those that will not be able to leave the Army because their units are marked for deployment? For those people going on their 3rd or 4th combat tours on the ill-advised whim of the current administration? For the children growing up without their soldier mothers and soldier fathers? For the climbing divorce rate in the military? For the soaring amounts of depression and stress related disorders?
