It seems there’s a growing trend to use a service member’s tour of duty against them when it comes to custody of children. The most disturbing quote from the article was from the attorney against the service member:

“She was not drafted. This was a job choice. She went into it with open eyes.”

It’s stupidity like that that makes you want to get rid of all lawyers - in a permanent sort of way. Why do we feel we can treat people in such a way just because they’ve done their duty to they’re country in time of war?!?
