Reply #27: These are RESERVISTS... The families have a point!!!! [View All]

They were never meant to serve for such long periods. It is not what you sign up for. That I will give them. The abuse of Reservists has been rampant in this war. They have been deployed at an unprecedented rate.. and kept for months and months. Rumsfeld is using them the most because they do not get veteran's benefits the same way, or health care.. they are the "temp" military... the "part-time" military.. in the Pentagon's eyes.. and they are treated just like those types of employees in the real world.

I hope these people scream their heads off! This is NOT what being a Reservist is about. They are being abused for oil.
