Defense Department To Phase Out Stop-Loss Program

Monday, March 23, 2009

Defense Department officials said that, rather than requiring troops to stay on after their term of enlistment expires, they will begin offering them cash incentives to voluntarily continue their service. What do you think?

Paul Shannon,
Systems Analyst
“Between closing Guantánamo Bay and ending stop-loss, this could seriously hurt the U.S. military’s ability to scare American kids into college.”

Jennifer Moss,
Police Officer
“And when has anyone ever done anything they didn’t want to do just for money?”

Michael Cruz,
Cartographer
"See, that is just like the Pentagon. Thoughtful, considerate, gracious. Class act."
