    Re: 15-month deployments


    I opened my e-mail this morning to find a not from the chief of staff confirming that the Army will reduce deployments to 12 months this summer. The Deciderer decided yesterday.
     
  3. But my understanding of the news is that this applies only to those people not deployed yet. The people who already are there get played by the old rules.
    Yes? No?

    That sounds about right.

    I had a longtime college roommate and good friend get pulled back in for a year when he was looking to get out. He did his year - boots on ground - near the area of conflict - came back, got out and moved on.

    Thank goodness. We can only hope everyone else who has to go through my friend's scenario gets the same happy ending.

    Five bucks says Obummer, if elected, compromises his ass right into a continuance of this war at a level far greater than you're counting on.

    This country need to reinstate the draft --A.K.A. the Selective Service System -- to teach forgotten values of Honor, Duty and Country.

    I guess not. I'm still wondering.

    Yes. Those deployed after the cutback will have 12 month deployments.
