Stop Loss

Heard about “Stop Loss,’’ the movie coming out at the end of the month about a soldier returning home from Iraq, trying to adjust to life back in the world only to be recalled to active duty and ordered back into combat?
We’re looking for veterans and family members who can talk about the real deal for a story on how the military’s stop loss policy affects their lives.
Seems like you can’t even keep a reliable “short timers’’ calendar in today’s armed forces.
If you or someone you love is living the stop loss life, leave me a message here or give me a call at 914-694-3534.

When I was deployed, there were quite a few people that were “stop lossed”. There was a Staff Sergeant that had his 20 yr letter (we were a Nat’l Guard unit) and he still had to go. Little did I know that my enlistment was up, but I was also stop lossed. For some soldiers, it affected their morale, others, well we made the best of it. I believe it all depends on the soldier/person as to how they deal with it. As with any place of business, you are going to have people who gripe and complain about everything at any given moment. It just happens that way. It’s not necessarily fair, but as soldiers, we do what we are told….and continue to march.
