No. A release, voluntarily or not, does not force a tenant to move.
Depends on the wording of the lease, and the laws in your state. Normally the military clause relates to active duty service member being deployed prior to end of lease. If you are the landlord, and the couple are being honest enough to give you advance notice (probably because it would be a hardship to afford the rent), why not be nice and work with them?
As a landlord myself, if the tenant was good in general whether military or civilian, I always tried to work with them especially when the were good enough to keep me informed.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
