They might not have been home for Thanksgiving.
If they were called up by the Chickenshit in Chief, which they were, they may not have gotten the holiday off. You think he'd care if they had to work on Thanksgiving?
They were there because of him. That is a fact. I would bet my last dollar that none of them wanted to be there.
