I remember that too si6. They told us all that we were in "for the duration of the conflict".

This also includes all soldiers in units within 90 days of deployment to Afganistan and Iraq as well as those in units that have just returned form deployments.

When I raised my hand and swore to protect and defend the consititution, I knew this was part of the deal. Right now, anyone in the US Armed Forces is either:

1. Deployed to a hostile area.

2. Has just returned.

3. Awaiting deployment - right away or in the near future.

And that's the deal - those who are faint of heart or lacking in conviction need not apply.
