Um... forever? How about these Payday Loans? You get to loan $400 some dollars so in 5 days you can owe them $600.

How about adjustable loans only offered during times of low percentages, where only an idiot would volunteer to pay more interest than he has to.

I don't buy the "he's dumb, leave him alone" approach. He knew EXACTLY what he was doing before he went, he knew the risk and enlisted anyways. Show me ONE person who signs up for the military in a time of war and honestly has 0 belief that he/she will be deployed. No one, I don't care how smooth the recruiter was. There is no doubt in my mind he was told multiple times he was in all likelyhood going to deploy, because we were in a time of war.
