Christ. Two years? People have been here that long?

[John frowns in concern, not even able to imagine what it's like being away from someone's home that long after such an unexpected departure. It's one thing to be deployed to Afghanistan, it's another to be ripped away from your own home and dropped in the middle of nowhere.]

How is that possible? Is there a point to all this or is it just for some strange... I dunno, social experiment?

...Honestly I'm not even sure which would be worse...
