Pine Barrens Mafia Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Speaking from experience....when you enlist in the Armed forces you generally sign up for a term of EIGHT YEARS. Yes, ladies, that's EIGHT years regardless of wheter or not you're slated to serve 2 3 or 4 active. SO the government has EVERY RIGHT to say to the private who's in year FOUR of an 8 year enlistment..."Sorry, son, but you owe us 4 more." There's no "backdoor draft" just an adherence to the rules.

Alaska Darin Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 I was "stop lossed" for 6 months under President Clinton. I had already been in 12 years. Because of Kosovo. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
