Stop Loss

I am not a real political person and try to avoid all conversation of the political matters but, I feel compelled to write about this because it has shook my world. How many of you know what this military term is? I found out the definition a little bit ago. What it is is simple. A soldier signs a contract with the military to serve a certain amount of time and then they are supposed to be discharged. Stop Loss is the practice by the government to stop the loss of valuable soldiers. The government can and does deny the soldiers the right to be discharged even though they have served their time. Yes, this is right. The soldier has served their tour of duty and that are told they must go back to war - with no questions asked. To me this is slavery. If the soldier has served their country admirably they have the right to leave when their tour is up. By the grace of God they have survived their tour and now want to come home - but they are denied that right. If your employer told you you could not leave when you got a better paying job, who would you react? We have to speak up for our soldiers and stop this practice. My challenge for you today is to call your local Congress or Senate person and stress your disgust with this practice. Your voice may pave the way to save a soldiers life.
