The law --- not always an ass...

Ben, read the article again. The troops mentioned in that article are already in Iraq. They are not being sent there from the UNited States. Their tour of duty is being involuntarily extended, which is the point of the article. "Army Extends Combat Tours for 4,000 Soldiers in Iraq," which is the headline.

Dear "A"

I think you are wrong.

The admittedly fine print of the contract stipulates what can and can not be done to whom and when.

There are always plenty of legal hot-dogs anxious and willing to take the government to court.

I think hot-dogs at the Department of Justice can sue the Department of Justice.

Ask Nino.
