stop-loss

[nycflasher]

Just talking to a Marine classmate. He was heldover by stop-loss on 9-11(he was just retrning from overseas on that day) and went to Afghan and Iraq.

We're trying to figure out the legitimacy of stop-loss. In his words: "I signed a contract saying I'm giving this much time. I can't break the contract. Why can the goverment?"

He said they were ALL pretty pissed when they got held over having just arrived back in Hawaii.

...because the Government, and National Security are bigger than He or his plans 'after' his enlistement.
