If the servicemember chooses to go all the way home, they pay their own way. (DUH - we all pay for vacation trip costs don't we?????) There is nothing saying those servicemembers HAVE to go home - they could go stay in Baltimore, etc. Still beats Iraq, IMHO.
If they're crafty enough, they can take advantage of 'Space-A' (space available) travel; many airlines offer military discounted fares as well.
