Lepus Rex-The enlisted soldiers do, in fact, have to go where they are deployed. There are rather serious consequences for failure to do so. If you expect them to never have enlisted at all, consider that many joined as a way to pay for college, during a period when there was no reason at all to believe they would be required to fight an unjust war.
