Is it fair that soldiers whose term of service has ended, even those who have reached their retirement date or who have no more inactive reserve commitments to give, are forced to serve beyond what they had signed up for, are constantly given revised redeployment dates and are basically being held hostage at the mercy of the U.S. government? I know that this is a volunteer army but fair is fair. They did the time they were legally bound to do according to what was in their contract. True, there are those patriotic few who are willing to go above and beyond what they signed for and good for them. At the same time, there are those who had plans for what they wanted to do with the rest of their live and are, honestly, hoping that they have a "rest of their lives" to contiue with upon their arrival back here ... i.e. they don't arrive feet first onto the tarmac. This is just ... ummmm ... fucked.
