Of course it would still be better not to be deployed but at least this shows some understanding on the command's part.

Encouragement for our lives and sacrifice
"We have no right to decide where we should be placed, or to have preconceived ideas as to what God is preparing us to do. God engineers everything; and wherever He places us, our one supreme goal should be to pour out our lives in wholehearted devotion to Him in that particular work"...Oswald Chambers.
In other words whether we are changing diapers, fixing dinner, serving in a leadership position or just sitting and enjoying the sunset it should all be done in the knowledge that God put us there and has a purpose for us there even when we can't see it.
"Do ordinary things with extraordinary love: little things like caring for the sick and the homeless, the lonely and the unwanted, washing and cleaning for them. You must give what will cost you something. This then is giving not what you can live without, but what you can't live without, or don't want to live without.... Then your gift will become a sacrifice, which will have value before God. Any sacrifice is useful if it is done out of love. This giving until it hurts - this sacrifice - is what I call love in action"....Mother Teresa

A must read...
I just finished Laura Ingraham's "Power to the People" and it is a great read! Will make you mad perhaps but is certainly right on about the issues facing our country....
Some favorite quotes she uses in the book :
Each moral choice we make reverbarates into the lives of those around us and throughout the world.
A general dissolution of Principles and Manners will more surely overthrow the Liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subduded; but once they lose their virtue they will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader... If virtue and knowledge are diffused among the people, they will never be enslaved. This will be their greatest security.
... Samuel Adams
