I don't see them being tossed out on their ear. The members of the military, however, will probably find out when they get to Norfolk that there is no discharge awaiting them -- they've been indefinitely Stop-Lossed. Many won't happy with that and there will be a rash of desertions -- and those will be written off as a loss. There will be a hard press, especially with troops that have dependents, that staying with the military will be the best way to take care of themselves and dependents, and to a large extent, that will be true. That press will start off almost immediately upon leaving Bremerhaven; the interior walls of the ship will have a lot of posters and notes to that end, and they'll hear a lot of counseling to that end.
