    Movie review: Stop-Loss

    From reading the message above, it sounds like Nummelaj up there must be in the Air Force, they only deploy for 6 months tops (usually for 3 actually) and they usually go to nice places like Quatar and Kuwait (Spain too...). So it's understandable if he doesn't mind getting stop-lossed. Those of us serving in real military branches, that as of now deploy for 15 months at a time only to get 12 months at home, do mind stop-loss. Mind it quite a bit. As much as I'd like to defend my country, after 2 tours in Iraq I fail to see how I've done that. Maybe made it worse by creating more disgruntled Iraqis. Anyway I hope this movie brings a little bit of attention to the back-door draft policy which is known as stop-loss. Not that it will do me any good, I will be stop-lossed for my 3rd year in Iraq very soon.
