How to torpedo morale The Army Way

Supporting the troops?
from Atrios

Soldiers' choice at Fort Carson

WHAT THE FORM SAID

"Elect not to extend or re-enlist and understand that the soldier will be reassigned IAW (in accordance with) the needs of the Army by Department of the Army HRC (Human Resources Command) . . . or Fort Carson G1 (Personnel Office)."

WHAT IT MEANS

- Soldiers who sign the letter are bound to the 3rd Brigade Combat Team until Dec. 31, 2007.
-Soldiers who do not sign the letter might be transferred out of the brigade and possibly to Iraq.


Yeah, the GOP doesn't want to draft newbies because that would really suck on the domestic front. They are showing their support for the troops by letting them stay troops indefinitely! - you know, when you lurve someone so much you can't stand to have them leave? That's how they feel about the men and women in our armed services. They just can't stand the thought of losing any of them...*


*unless they die or get injured and then they show their love and support by lovingly ignoring them.
