Read this article and it made me sick: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6661835/
Because these "soldiers" didn't take the time to read the contract they signed, they want to blame their situation on the Pentagon. Come on guys, do you know how much this is a slap in the face to all the soldiers who have served before you. Do you think the guys that jumped into France in WWII were watching a calendar, counting the days until they could go home. Many of them didn't return home for over 2 years.
This is not all to say that I don't feel your pain in having to serve away from your families and loved ones. However, serving in the military is a sacrifice, PERIOD. You join to serve your country, not pad your bank account, and not to only go to college. Bottom line, you need to serve your nation, and if that nation tells you it is using it's contractural obligation to extend your enlistment, just shut-up and do it.
