I think unemployment will raise. With all these men and women coming back to the states, and we don't even have enough jobs for the ones already here, what are the troops going to do?
Where are they going to work? I have to wonder, were all these little wars in the mid east a make work project? They've kept a couple of hundred thousand job seekers busy now for quite awhile. Add in the defense contractor jobs and we have a hell of a lot of people who depend on war for their livelyhood. The very saddest part is all the Heroes who didn't make it back to look for a job. It probably doesn't matter the job is being manned by an illegal immigrant anyway.
Why would there be an uptick in marriages when they come back? Its when they do a mass send off that marriages rise. Sex and marriage doesn't go as hand in hand any more as it used to. I do forsee a lot of divorces for the ones who married before they left though
I think in the new day and age marriage will not be on the minds of troops coming home,but sex could be.There could be a mini boom of children within 9 months.
I think they will have an easier time than the average joe offf the street. Many of them will start up their own as they are motivated people on the whole. But I will sure be praying for them.
Besides most are already married.
They will still be employed if the re-up. And in this economy they would be fools not to IMO.
