Here is my take. I have no kids and am not terribly close to my family. I do however have a loving wonderful fiance' whom I will marry in September so for her sake (and the fact she'd never let me) I wouldn't go. However, if I didn't have the loving girl and say my life was as it was a couple of years ago I would have to at least consider it. Here are some considerations.
The Positives - A lot of tax-free money in relatively short time.
That's pretty much it for positves!
The negatives - Two years in a god-forsaken desert where a lot of the population hate you. No real contact with your children for two years. Desert = HOT HOT HOT, SAND, SAND, SAND! If you are in ANY sort of depression about your current situation being in a hostile country in an adverse environment isn't going to exactly raise your spirits. No social life for two years. (read: no ladies night at the bar!) The possibility of torture leading up to beheading by militant extremists.
Looking at all that it would be very hard for me to go. If you go you've just got to accept the fact that bad things might happen. Ya rolls your dice, you takes your chances.
