My dad just got a job offer in Iraq, but he has 4 kids, no wife. Should he go?

This is a bit long, sorry for that. Please take the time to read some of it at least, this is really important to me. My dad is a master plumber. He has been doing his job for over 25 years now and he is currently unemployed. The recession has made getting a job incredibly difficult for my father along with everyone else in the nation, and one of the only job offers my dad has received recently is one that requires him to leave home and live in Iraq for 3 years with only 30 days of vacation a year. The upside is that he would be making 150k a year, enough to pick our family up out of our slump we've been in (we've never been that wealthy and have had to barely squeeze by for years now) as well as supplying him with free food and housing and fantastic medical and dental plans. This job offer also has some obvious drawbacks. He would have to leave home, leaving my 3 little brothers (not so little with twins at the age of 14 and another at 15, I am 19 years old and plan on moving out this summer) at home without him. I would have moved out by the time he leaves, but i would live very close, within walking distance, so as to be there if they need me, and our governor, Joe (an asshole by all reasoning, but he cares about them and treats them fairly, if strictly). So I'm fairly sure that my brothers would be fine, and i know i would be fine. I love my dad, even though we disagree a lot, he is a good man when it comes down to it, and would do anything for his children. Leaving home and accepting this job offer would break his heart, he loves his kids more than anything and being away from us for that long would bring him to tears, as the thought of doing so already has during our discussions on this subject. I'm really confused about the whole thing, I told him that he has to make this decision for himself, that I can't make it for him (I have been a source of wisdom for him since I was a young teenager, or at least someone to ask about right and wrong and what to do, lol) but this time I can't decide for him. This is a life changing decision and even though the money would really help my family out right now, I'm not sure if it would be best for him as a human being. Please answer well, and take into account the fact that although it is his responsibility to provide for his family, he is also a very emotional man at times-

This is a hard decision....if your father is willing to go over seas and leave you all behind so that he can build a better financial foundation for you and your brothers I say go for it!! I wish him MUCH LUCK!!!
