Army Is Phasing Out Stop-Loss for Soldiers - WSJ.com

Stop-Loss is really another term for indentured servitude. It was one of those stupid Bush ideas. Our nation is in a recession/depression. The Obama administration is spending money like drunken sailors who've just hit port. I have a better idea. Rather than piss away our children's birthright on pork, we should institute universal military training. It will give our unemployed young something useful to do and at the same time build our military. And yes, I do understand that required military training is also a form of indentured servitude. I don't argue that it is good but it may be the lesser of several evils. Jim
