The Army continues its abhorrent practice of stop loss, not that you'll see more than the occasional article or mention in the press...which is how such a horrible mess remains off the national radar screen...
In all, 58,300 soldiers have been affected by stop loss since 2002, according to the Army...For the 3rd Infantry Division, which is responsible for a portion of Iraq south of Baghdad, about 1,500 of its 22,500 soldiers is serving under stop loss, according to Maj. Alayne Conway.
This is the "volunteer" army that Dick...Cheney refers to when he snidely dismisses the dead and wounded as if they were little more than a business expense.
Which, come to think of it, is probably exactly what he believes.
The fact that the media is so willing to defer to Dick...Cheney--and George Dubya--speaks volumes.
