Obviously this song has the perspective of a soldier in 'Nam. He's out in the jungle and his wife/gf isn't writing him anymore. Common occurance. "Cost of the airfare" is probably getting wounded badly enough for a medical discharge. Drinking iodine to make the water safe to drink...

Medical discharge. Sounds perfect.
