I’d wait a while before condemming anyone. I smell a Geraldo-like reporter here (talentless, ugly, and completely without morals).
Ditto, smells like bad reporting or maybe an oversight, it will get sorted out and the vets will get treated fairly i believe.
Not unusual. During previous deployments, 1st Gulf war, the army orders were for 179 days. This way the soldier wouldn’t qualify for a short tour.
This doesn’t surprise me. Bureacrats in action.
