To better put this in respective that Canadians can possibly relate too...
Lets say she was Canadian and volunteered to join the Canadian Army in 2006, received a large signing bonus, and after the military has spent thousands of dollars training her she was sent to Afghanistan with the rest of her unit. After being in Afghanistan for 3 months she decided that she's changed her mind and doesn't want to be in the army any more because she could get killed.... so she comes back to Canada on a 2 week leave and goes AWOL and deserts her unit, her regiment, her country.
Should she be allowed to carry on with her life as if none of this ever happened while someone back in Afghanistan does her duty (which she volunteered for and was paid for) in her place?
