Only way to stop this is to stop the war or revisit involuntary servitude aka the Draft. Sorry Mike.. they signed the contract for 8 years of total service, and they know they have the potential of being called up again. I'm sorry for them, but that's the deal they signed on for when they joined the service. The war is not going to stop Mike. If anything, should the region break out into a full-fledge conflict between Sunni/Salafist militants and Shi'a militants, it's only going to expand to the extent that we'll be required to mobilize even greater forces to restore some form of stability. The only other alternative is to just hunker down and close our eyes to the bloodbath that will ensue upon our retreat. The options are not pretty, or popular.. but the repercussions and consequences are potentially devastating. Hawk
