It has nothing do with illiterate people. Please check my response post #37 to Jiro123.

so yes, I assume that they can all read that clause.
Your comment does not surprise me because I know you always assume a lot without know the fact.

You said that you support soliders but to me, you take one side, not both side between Government and solider.

You need to look other side. I like her post and read further including comments.

You don't "get it." According to the conditions of their original contract, soldiers are obligated to extended war service whether or not they sign the extended agreement. The extended agreement just formalizes the specifics of the extended duty. But they are still obligated to perform that service based on the original contract.
No, you don't get it either. They want to get out of US Army few weeks before end of their agreement contract but they were being force to extend their contract... Yes, they were being push to extend until end then again extend...then again extend... extend... up to 8 years or more... You really has no idea but you only look one side.

Yes, it's the problem is their senseless for sign the contract quickly without read carefully because they thought they serve their country to defense foriegn countries against enemies and like it but it's not what they thought. They are being trap until they do not need them anymore then let them go ...

He can say "no" but he must understand that consequences are attached to that decision. If he believes he is morally right, then he must accept the consequences with a stiff upper lip.

This is the most bizarre idea that military people can pick and choose their assignments. Military service is NOT a "job".

You don't get it. Yes, they have no problem to follow that consequences for MANY YEARS and like to serve for their country for more years... and ask voluntarily to extend their agreement contract until after Saddam's execution... They saw it's wrong... and refuse to accept the order to do "illegal" for them. They received threatening and decided to quit but it trap them off when they remind them about their agreement... They feel being betrayal... It's their feeling... I can see that you don't care but point your finger to the agreement contract without consider solider's feeling. Sure, their mistakes but it would be nice to support them if they want to get out of US Army to start a new life.

I saw the pictures and understand totally why many soliders refuse to go Iraq War. The pictures shows that it's not really war.
