On the troops side, they might have seen a couple of lottery tickets - wives who are capable of earning more in a year than they could in 5 years...

But hey, I could be wrong and maybe there won't be divorces soon after the women achieve US citizenship and maybe a country that is struggling to survive won't need a couple of highly educated doctors either.
A very astute observation, and one I have to agree completely with. [img]smile.gif[/img]
