Re-enlist, or you're going to Iraq
September 17, 2004 11:44 AM
The 3rd Brigade Combat Team at Fort Carson in Colorado were given this choice by recruiters last week. Verified by multiple first-hand sources. Soldiers are outraged, particularly those close to fulfilling their military obligations. One platoon refused to sign on. An anonymous sergeant: "I don't want to go back to Iraq. I went through a lot of things for the Army that weren't necessary and were risky. Iraq has changed a lot of people." Thank you! They have served their country twice -- fulfilling their obligations when called to serve, and refusing to be intimidated when they find out they've been conned. We need more non-combat insubordination.
