...good intentions fail to address a central issue: many recent vets simply aren't prepared or equipped for the real-world job hunt. At Military.com's career fair, some job seekers' business cards bore nine-digit phone numbers and incorrectly written e-mail addresses. One vet had a two-page résumé in a complicated font, its objective reading, "to display extensive job skills." Some struggled visibly with etiquette, lurking far from the booths, sneaking up only to grab a brochure. Many, including Hughes, left the Chicago hotel entirely uncertain about their prospects...
...Uncertainty is endemic to the job hunt, and anathema to soldiers like Hughes. He trained for all four posts on the eight-wheeled, tank-like vehicles called Strykers, and deployed to Iraq in October 2004. On his first day in Mosul he was shot at. A few months later, the driver of the Stryker ahead of his was killed by a roadside bomb. Still, he grew to love his work.

...What's more, there are plenty of far more promising places to hunt for life closer to home. Sunlight is not the only kind of energy that can fire the biological furnaces; so can subsurface heat. Jupiter's icy moon Europa is thought to have a rich, salty, globe-girdling ocean sloshing just beneath its surface rind of water ice. Very little solar light reaches so far into space, and even less makes it down to the dark ocean inside Europa. But the gravitational flexing of the little world caused by the movement of Jupiter's other moons heats...
