#2 Yup...Anymouse's Semper Fi son is chomping at the bit to get to Afghanistan. He actually jumped the line to get an early deployment with another unit...much to his mother's chagrin.

#4 "65 soldiers had to be "stop-lossed," or ordered to serve beyond the date they were scheduled to exit the Army."

I thought O'wonderful was supposed to put a stop to that. Is stop-loss OK now that a Democrat is doing it? I'm so confused!

#6 TITLE 10 > Subtitle A > PART II > CHAPTER 39 >
para. 671a. Members: service extension during war

Unless terminated at an earlier date by the Secretary concerned, the period of active service of any member of an armed force is extended for the duration of any war in which the United States may be engaged and for six months thereafter.

It's in the contract as well as the law. Not that the MSM, and its legion of editors and fact checkers, care about truth. That DoD is operating pretty much as though its peacetime for most of the uniform service members is the interesting part.
