StopLoss

To:  Department of Defense

Military Stop-Loss/Stop-Movement...

This Petition is asking the Department of Defense to eliminate the Stop Loss/Stop Movement program. Stop Loss prevents Active Military personnel from leaving the Army when their agreed-upon obligation has been met. It is a "fine print" item that is not fully explained when a young man or woman signs the contract.

Example of stop loss: (actual case): A young man signs up for a 4 year contract of active duty in the U.S. army. His exit date was to be 1/06. His unit is being deployed back to Iraq (3rd time) in Oct 05-Jan 06. His stop loss begins in August, 05 and he will spend an additional year in Iraq....

Please sign so that we may stop this "back door draft"...and let these gentlemen and ladies begin their civilian lives after having served our country so valiantly.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
