What?! 'Deaf' Gi Being Sent Back To War

Wokamuka · 04-28-2008, 11:57 PM

The way that the Pentagon and the War in Iraq is handling American citizens, who enroll within the military with a sense of honor and duty, is embarrassing.

The mercenaries who make tons more than soliders there . . . soldiers who are used as IED fodder. Stories of soldiers' families not being fed, denied housing, and screwed around with while their loved ones are out in the middle of Iraq or, worse, with them.

Here's another whopper folks:

All hail the Commander-In-Chief Che . . . Bush, I mean.

Wow, that's so wrongful to send him to war because of health reason and too much pressure on armies.

Bush is really made biggest mess up to start Iraq war in 2003 and seems so endless.

I feel sorry for him.

Pacman · 04-30-2008, 10:18 AM

oop, wrong thread.

We'll have to see what happens at his May 18 medical evaluation.

Hmm, good to hear that.

I am getting attacked like he is except I don't have major wounds like he does. I got out back in 2005, went to Iraq twice, served 4 years. I am supposed to be getting out in 2010. I have a possability of Hypoglysemia, and I also have a bad back and other pains thanks to the military. Yet yesterday I got a letter in the mail that they want me to go to a reserve base and update them with my information and then the person in charge I talked to on the phone said that it is a good chance they may call me back into the army again and off to war again for the third time. I just got married in August and I really don't need this now. it would be too much for both her and I.

Damn him, he's lucky. I want to be a soldier.

I totally understand. My boyfriend is still in the reserves until 2010, just like you. He was in Iraq until 2006. He suffered numerous injuries there. He receives muster orders from time to time and they call him on the phone but so far he has avoided being sent back in because his injuries were that many. We'll see if that holds up until 2010. As far as that "deaf" GI goes, I am guessing his injuries weren't greater than 40% which is the "cutoff".

I'm still looking for an update.

In the meantime, I found this, another perspective on the story:

That is definetly messed up. I guess it shows that America isnt treating our soliders very well with respect.

The reason is because no one agrees with this war and so no one is signing up and so they are having to call people back.

That's curious since it was the Democrats in Congress who suggested reactivating the draft.

Celticty and AllenCat,

CNN.com - Rangel introduces bill to reinstate draft - Jan. 8, 2003
Rep. Rangel is a Democrat.

Former Senator Ernest F. Hollings (Democrat) also introduced a bill in the Senate to reinstate the draft but it got no support.

In the second presidential debate, Bush said, "We're not going to have a draft, period."

That happened to me. They extended me and made me go to Iraq a second time when I was in and now they may call me back again.

Thank you!

Celticty · 06-12-2008, 05:19 PM

Someone has to do it. I am just mad that they may make me do it again beyond my will.

AlleyCat · 06-12-2008, 05:23 PM

Yes, but when you signed up for the army, you are entered into the reserves afterwards for a number of years. Am I mistaken? Therefore they can call you up if troops are needed. But usually an act by Congress is what is needed in order to call up massive numbers of troops.

Celticty · 06-12-2008, 06:00 PM

That is true and that is possibly what is happening too lol. I am just tired of it. I do not agree with the war or our president or any of that. I never did but I signed up before it all started.

Liebling:-))) · 06-13-2008, 08:19 AM

Really sad... Normally if soliders decide to resign then is their decision...but I sometimes wonder myself it's really voluntarily or not? The government lead people beleive it's voluntarliy until they sign then over...
