Interesting dilemma. Tough on the kid, but I guess if you are training to deploy to a combat zone than learning to make big decisions is part of the deal.
I don't really feel qualified to comment on this, but I would very much like to hear the views of those who have served. Does he do more good by going, or as a way to boost recruiting?

No, although a few of my cadets are in the same company. I guess he's been getting a lot of mail and email over this, and I'm under the impression that most of it is against the direct NFL route. One letter that has made it easier on him was from a NCO in Iraq that stated that he hopes he goes to the NFL and represents the Army there, as it would provide a morale boost to see him on TV.
