By the way... how do you, from your far-away spot long distant from any of this back story that you're hearing today for the first time, make the assumption that a policy that has evolved over about 30 years is "knee jerk"?????
I feel sorry for kids whose parents are in the military, or lost a job, or got divorced, or had a lease expire, and were forced to move.
