This is the military you're talking about. You can seek a lawyer and pay him a million dollars. Makes no difference. Your CO can throw him off base before he introduces himself.

You see the standard military contract it's for 8 years, 4 active, 4 inactive reserve. The reserve time can be turned to active without your consent. (It's been this way since the draft ended) It's not really a contract. It's more like a binding document. The contract can be changed at anytime by the military. You can be forced to stay in past your initial end of obligation. No choice in this matter, we call it "stop gap"

But if you read the rest of that article, the Lt. Col. said that they probably would not send them back to Iraq with less than a year on their contract. It sounded from the article that this "threat" did not come from higher command.

If you joined the military, you joined for combat.
