Ah. Sorry - I read the whole thing in Japan! On the bright side, the fact that I made it through the whole manga in Japanese means it can't be too hard to translate.
I think re: army that they make you sign on for x number of years, and you literally can't quit before then. If you try to, that's desertion. This is a horrible thing that happens to US servicemen all the time - they want to leave (for mental, physical, spiritual or family reasons), but keep getting sent back to war. And as their country is very militaristic and constantly fighting wars, I assume they're the hard-ass kind of organization that OWNS YOU until the end of your term of service. (Fun fact: sometimes there is fine print in your contract so they can get you back after your term is up on pain of desertion.)
