oh please, she thinks the soldiers are so stupid that they are all being tricked by a redeployment? Another propaganda movie against the war that I will miss seeing.

You want to know the real rub in this ....the High Ranks don't deploy the same as the common troop....NOT AS OFTEN - NOT AS LONG!

abc I assume you have never been in the military and had to deal with being stop lossed. I was lucky for not getting stop lossed, but I have a few other miltary friends that were not able to get out when they finished their four year duty.

my husband served proudly in the United States Marine Corp. We weren't poor saps and not stupid about the military or our government, no matter which party was in charge.

Geez

Such a bunch of BS. While I was never stop-lossed, it was made clear to me before and when I enlisted that it was a possibility. It's just like these people that enlist, end up going to war, and are surprised that they had to do so.

In another matter, I like how the headline of this OBVIOUSLY unbiased article reads: "boys who enlist." The last I checked, you had to be 18 to enlist, and 18+ meant you were a man...
It's funny to me that the same people that want 15-year-old girls to make their own decisions on abortion without parental interference want to call 18-22 year-olds "boys" to add sensitivity to a topic concerning the military, which they hate.

It's 17 to join with parental consent and usually a diploma. Just FYI.

I believe you have to be 18 to be dispatched, which is what I was thinking of. Also, no one being stop-lossed could be younger than 18, even if they did enlist at 17.
