Actually no. That is wrong. 8 years? Are you mad? Absolutely not. Stop-Loss Policy typically extends your contract up to 1 year. Most soldiers are extended up to 6 months.
New Army Stop-Loss Policy
Under the new policy, soldiers will generally be subject to Stop-Loss for no more than 12 months -- even though their military occupation specialty may remain affected by Stop-Loss in support of the global war on terrorism, said officials from the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, G1.
Enlisted soldiers under Stop-Loss can now voluntarily separate on the one-year anniversary of their original expiration of service or ETS date.

Please stop using the phrase "forced to extend." You're making it sound like they were illegally forced to sign the contract. Like I said - it is perfectly legal. They were "involuntarily extended." How is Watada's case different?
Watada can't base defense on war's legality, judge says
