I would have to say that Reservists who have committed to service our country should be allowed to go home when thier time expires. To me...forcing a reservist to stay after his enlistment expires is like holding a person against thier will. It is unfair. These people have fulfilled thier obligation to our country.

Let them be free for goodness sakes. Let them come home alive to thier families.

You know what though a lot of these guys are activated with 6-9 months left on there contract, they are compensated daily for any stop losses that prevent them from leaving and not to mention it is a well known fact when you sign your enlistment that yes the federal government is within there rights to extend your service for a period, each and every single service member signs that contract.

Sorry they are in for the duration.

Their SOL unit the end is declared.

Now if the militia was activated there might be a general uprising.

There is no need for the draft at this time, less than 1% of the population of this country is being asked to bear the burden of defense for this nation.

To me that is the great crime, every swinging richard and richardette, so be be bearing the burden.

But what the hey, this is society in decline and no one except the minority wants to defend it.

AS to the reservist crying, FIDO.
