You can even get screwed by your cell phone contract!! most of contracts say that you are subjected to some changes in future. It's no different.

As long as they're soldiers, that policy applies to them even if they want to resign. Sucks for Stop Loss Policy.... It's almost as bad as loophole but it's not illegal and it's always expected during war time. Even I knew that and I expected to fall under Stop Loss Policy if I signed up.

I work for many years to know soliders who have no problem to go different countries to defend against enemies until after Saddam's execution and then they knew it's wrong... and trapped because they sign quickly, assume that its about defense against enemies from any countries, they like to serve without realize what Stop Loss Policy is about. They thought Stop Loss Policy is about war on terror. That's it.

Many people overlook something before they sign the contract, it's not just soliders but many people in general way. Nobody are prefect. You can't expect we are prefect and know everything to 100%... It could be that we overlook something... Unfortunlately sadly, they were being misleading to beleive that what it's about before sign. Yes, some soliders questioned and make sure until they agreed then sign... then into different what they thought. Like what I said before that the word out of mouth doesn't count but check with Legal Advicer or lawyer before you agree to sign or disagree then not sign.

We were being recommend to not sign the contract if we doubt to understand fully or trust the contracter... but go to lawyer to aviod to get nightmare when you overlook something... You do not need to play as a lawyer to understand the contract, it could be tough to understand if you read the agreement contract for a first time because some words may foreign to you. No matter either you are smart or not...
