My brother in law signed up for 4 years in the Army due to end May 2006. He already served 2 tours in Iraq and was forced to stay in the army months beyond what he signed up for due to his previous deployment to Iraq.

He has followed ALL procedures in exiting the Army and has been at his US base now for months returning all gear, filling out forms, etc. He was told and expecting his orders on being done and finished with the Army today (1/11/07).

However, he was told today that someone in the Army put the wrong date down on a form and he would have to resubmit everything and continue to be with the Army until he gets his orders. He is now in limbo, supposed to start his new career next week, and now fearful this is a tactic to force him into redeployment to Iraq.

He did his time and then some. The Army appears to constantly prevent him from leaving. Please help....What can be done to ensure a technicality (delay tactic) does not send him back to Iraq?

This may seem to be a dumb question, but I have heard answers saying that a troop is a group of soldiers and others that say that a troop refers to a single soldier. Since I've heard contradictory answers, a source would be much appreciated when you give yours. Thanks!

The Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union are history. So, what is the reason we still need troops over in Europe? Should we not expect those countries to manage their own affairs?

Are they going to raise salaries for those serving in the military in an attempt to make it more appealing for new people to join, or are they simply going to send the same troops out on their 3rd, 4th, 5th.... consecutive deployments?

My fiance just came back from his 2nd deployment in two years...

So far the Iraqis have either been unwilling or unable to do what is required for them to get control of their country and be able to run it themselves. What do all of you think about this? Do you believe that the Iraqis will step up and do the work? Or do you believe that the Iraqis will continue to be ineffectual, which will continue to make us nothing but a policing force in this country, as we are now?

My daughter is only 3 but say she ways 18 - 19 right now.If she came to me and wanted to join the Army right now I would tell her "we're in the middle of a war right now and I don't supprt the idea of your going to the military"Because that's all I would worry about from then on.If that sounds selfish or whatever to you I really don't care.But what would you tell your son or daughter about it?

CONUS is continental United States, in case anyone is wondering. Its for a hearing for failure to pay child support. I'm assuming the military would decide on letting him go based on the needs of the mission, just asking in general what may happen is this kind of situation.
