The Army now is now using blackmail to keep enlistments up.

Report: Soldiers say they are being threatened with Iraq duty

I think we should all keep an eye on this one to see where it goes. If true, every single person involved should be imprisoned for several years. I wonder how many soldiers MIGHT have reenlisted but chose not to because of this alleged threat?

From the article:

Quote:

The enlisted soldier said the recruiters' message left him "filled with dread."

"For me, it wasn't about going back to Iraq. It's just the fact that I'm ready to get out of the Army," he said.

These facts need to be publicized to youngsters about to sign their lives away to the US Machine of Death. I wonder if the grunts and jarheads realized that Uncle Sam was a madman when they signed into his employ? The fine print on the military contract is a con game ain't it?

Maybe if they put up as sign at the recruiting center - "Welcome Cannon Fodder for the Empire".
