I am a veteran. I deployed to Afghanistan. I was in a non-combat job. The push you out to some shitty places where things are not available to you all of the time. Things like running water, meals that aren't MRE's etc. It may be difficult for you to get the medication that you need if you were deployed.
If you are unable to deploy because of a medical issue, then you have no business being in the Military.
Personally I think that there has to be standards in any type of enviroment. I don't really want to have a number of different Word processors on peoples machines so when someone sends a document no one can read it(sure i can have them save to the smae format, but are they really going to listen?)
Also if you leave people to maintain there own machine, there is a security risk. People who don't install security updates, update their anti virus, etc. Also are you expecting your users to maintain there software licenses? There is just to much risk for not using software correctly and getting your self and company into trouble.

I think that may of us don't have any loyality to a company, because we know that most companies aren't going to have any loyality to us.
When you can be layed off to improve the bottom line, then you are going to take a better oppurtunity when one presents itself
Maybe IBM or Novell.
