Did you cheat on your ASVAB test to get in the military,did the military start allowing high school dropouts who haven't even got a good enough diploma(GED) to join the military?
Actually, my score was so high I was moved into further testing with some others who excelled as well.
But thanks for once again showing how the pro-war crowd rely mainly on ad homs. Take those away and you'd probably have about 4 posts per year.
Are you trying to argue that a military contract is not legal?
First of all, there are several types of military contracts and the legality of some of them get challenged. Die hard liberals like yourself wouldn't dare challenge the government but thank goodness not everyone serving or who has served is a dyed-in-the-wool Lib.
"He had already completed in June the eight years he promised to serve in the Oregon National Guard. But the Army told him in October it would reactivate him under its stop-loss rule, sending him for the first time overseas, away from his wife and family."
"Santiago is one of more than a dozen U.S. soldiers challenging in court the way the administration is using the stop-loss rule. Under federal law, the Pentagon can involuntarily extend the deployment of any reserve officer who's on active duty, if the president believes it's essential to national security."
JIM KLIMASKI: "That's what the contract says, real clear. Try it for one year, see if you like the Reserves or the National Guard, it fits with your schedule. And if you don't like at the end of one year, you are gone. However, all of those people who signed up under that program discovered that it was a fraud."
"The policy has been controversial. Republican Sen. John McCain has called it a "backdoor draft" as have many Democrats."
