WHen you sign up for the military, you sign up for 8 years. There is no "backdoor draft" nor are they being forced to continue service after their voluntary stints have ended.  If 8 years have not passed since you initially signed the paperwork, you are still on the tether. And it says that very plainly in the paperwork.

[Doshaza]

Stoploss applies after that 8 yrs as well. You could have 11 yrs, but if you are stoplossed you are going nowhere.

Fuck asshole!!! Like a 17 year old kid reads the fine print. Go fuck yourself you piece of shit!!!!! You're probably some dicksuckass recruiter working in a shopping mall. FUCK YOU!!!!

[172ndsoldier]

Chill the fuck out. A 17 year old SHOULD read the fine print. It's there life on the line, it's our duty to serve. Ive never been stoplost, Im sure if I am, I'd be PISSED, but unless your not a soldier or family of one, chill bro

[kimpunkrock]

Your right. I almost joined twice and I clearly remember them telling me this.

My friend's husband kept getting deployed to Iraq even after he was twice wounded, and his time in the army was supposed to be over. As a solution, they divorced, she left her 2 yr old son with her husband, and she moved over 150 miles away. The army had to give him his discharge to stay to care for his son as a single parent. When the army finally let him go with an honorable discharge, he moved to his wife's new location, annulled their divorce, and now they are married living civilian life.

Casey,

How easy is it to purchase video cameras across seas in the Middle East? How easy is it to video tape and upload videos?

Purchase a video camera in the middle east? Goto Google and type in 'Dubai'

[unitedaid]

I guess what I mean is how accesable is it to buy a camera and have it easily accesable for general usage- as military personel.

I'm curious if many soldiers have as much freedom to shoot footage of events as Casey has. Its obvious the military are shivering in their boots about the power he has with his video footage adn IVAW membership. Perhaps he's a rarity in such occurances?

[kalashnikov567]

everyone records everything over there. i came back with like 4 gigs of film and pictures. some mounts cameras to their helmets.
