RE-ENLIST…OR TAKE YOUR CHANCES IN IRAQ
| Sun, 09-19-2004 - 11:51pm |
The ongoing war in Iraq has left the U.S. military stretched paper thin. According to the Rocky Mountain News, the military is strong-arming soldiers into staying in the Army after their service requirements have been fulfilled. Troops from a Fort Carson combat unit say they were issued an ultimatum: re-up for three more years or take their chances in Iraq. Soldiers were told if they didn't sign the recruitment form extending their enlistment through December 2007, they would be reassigned to units likely to ship out to Iraq.
