New Law to Protect Troops

President Bush signed a law early this week to protect troops from custody battles while they are deployed. Previously they were only protected against creditors and evictions. I am often torn on these types of subjects. I do believe that our troops should receive the best type of treatment because of how much they give to our country. However, the whole custody issue should depend on how long they are deployed. The standard 6 month deployment is different than being deployed for a few years. If a troop is gone that long, I can see why a mother would want full custody of the child. Any thoughts?
