Even given the fact that they are volunteers, how were they supposed to know that the time they enlisted could be and would be extended?
Then they didn't use their heads before they enlisted. Didn't the fact that the military can call your killing machine ass back into service, after you have been discharged, at any time for a period of two years NOT clue them in that something was up?

I've gone into this in other threads. When you enlist as a soldier, you know what you are getting into to begin with. It's not a "hey! let's have fun and shoot stuff and blow shit up!" club. An army is meant to fight wars. How do you not realize that if there's a war, and you're in the army, you're gonna be fighting?

I have no sympathy for soldiers who whine about how they didn't know what they were getting into after the fact.
