A politician sees his family everyday; a deployed soldier once in 1 year. A politician flies 1st class; a soldier flies in a C130. A politician'spension is not reduced; a soldier's is clawed 65%. A politician enjoys an expense account; a soldier must justify extra rations. A politician vows to defend their country; a soldier actually keeps that promise.

ETA: I won't put the thank you part since it had some info about the deployment.
