I have a good friend in the Army and he is stationed in Kuwait. This is the second time they have sent him and his squad over (I think it's called a squad) . He spent a year there in 2005, and he's there for another year (coming home maybe in Sept). They may extend him another 125 days past September and he mentioned they are probably going to send him back in the middle of 2008. Can they do this? How many times does one soldier or squad have to go into the same war? Can he get out of a third tour?

Enough is enough!

The unit i was in has been there 4 times since 2003. Two of those times I went but have since retired. I do not believe their is a ruling as to how many times you can go, or for how long. I've know a few Army troops that have been there three times, each time lasting about 11 months.
I do know that in the Air Force, depending on the lenght of tour, they are required to leave you home a certain ammount of days in order to get households, and other things taken care of.
Hope this helps!

the vast majority do no longer. there are some idiots who ought to were screened out. the U. S. defense force must have severe criteria yet at the same time as they imagine that they can split a persons'' defense force occupation from who he's at homestead, they're useless incorrect. Drunkenness, drugs, fornication, adultery, preocupation with occult and the "darkish area" are in undemanding words a number of the flaws that could want to immediately kick one out of the defense force. you say "yet then we wouldn't have a lot of human beings left". I assure you that fewer those with more beneficial moral criteria might want to earnings an excellent purchase more beneficial than having idiots like this tarnish recognition of any such vast volume of sturdy infantrymen with their evil deeds. What i be counted on, will not in any respect ensue unfortunatelly. Oh and all that options from islamweb... is a group of enemy propaganda and Reuters is an arm of the islamonazi gadget.

As many times and as for as long as they need them. This is their job and if they are needed, they will go. It is not about being fair, it is about the job that needs to be done. If they are in the Army they should already understand this. Everyone in the military is doing their part and if this is what is being asked, you can't get out of it. If he doesn't like it he shouldn't reenlist next time the opportunity comes up for him to do so.

If you would like to do the homework you will find that your grandpa entered Normandy on D day, and was still in Europe when the war ended

Yes, they can do this.
Also, getting sent to Kuwait isn't the same thing as getting sent to Iraq.

they can be sent as many times as they were asked too. as a soldier, you cant say no to that. you just go and do your duty, right.

They can do what ever the hell they want to do with your friend's life. He is their property now, a government issue.

Yes, they can, do, and will.
Short of getting out of the service or changing his MOS, he will go again.............
