I am not making a judgment at this stage. I am only asking about people volunteering for it and whether there will be a need for mandatory deployments. Regardless of allowances, overseas missions are much more disruptive of people’s lives, notwithstanding the great opportunities they provide members. Will we ever have to deploy people mandatorily on overseas UN peacekeeping missions?
