Just heard about this local guy who reluctantly went to Iraq because

Did he reluctantly take the $$$ to be in the reserves, too?
my enlistment contract ended and the I have been involuntarily extended.
SOP. Happened during the Yugo thang too.
So a contract isn't a contract anymore, eh? It's changed unilaterally by USG whenever and however they want? Well, I suppose there's good precedence for that too -- ask any Native American. (snip)
I find it very troubling that the USA
would force people against their free will to be in the military,
It hasn't, it only requires males to register. So far.
It certainly is in this case, and, I'm sure, in many others. If you sign a contract to work for me for a year, and at the end of that year, I lock the factory door and won't let you out, send big mean guys with guns to make sure you stay seated at your machine and keep working -- what would you call that?
