<<The stop-gap program, or as it was previously known the involuntary extension program, is holding things together for now. Stop-gap involuntarily extends military personnel beyond their end of term of service. It rejects retirement for those eligible. And it provides for involuntary extensions in combat zones. In short, stop-gap enables broken promises. I predict that will create more problems down the road.>> If I was a young man thinking about enlisting that would be one thing I'd stick in the negative column.
