Stop-Loss: A Look at the US Military Policy that Creates a "Backdoor Draft" to Force Soldiers to Continue Service
With about 175,000 troops deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan wars, the US military has been forced to rely on a controversial policy known as "stop-loss" to force soldiers to continue serving after their voluntary stints had ended. We speak with two US soldiers: one on active duty in Iraq on his second tour of duty after being stop-lossed, the other facing redeployment after being stop-lossed. We also speak with Hollywood director Kimberly Peirce about her feature film, Stop-Loss.

Stop-loss
The military tried this tatic with me back in 91. You can fight it and win if you know what your doing. Best thing is to talk to a JAG officer about it. If you have served more than 8 years you can get out of it,. If you have less than 8 years service you are stuck. When you first sign up you are signing up for 8 years of commitment. It is in the contract. That is how I got out. I had served over 9 years. My commitment was up.
