Soldier sues to block extended military service plan
A California Army National Guard soldier filed a federal suit over the stop-loss program that could extend up to 20,000 personnel beyond their service end date. The case, the first challenge since 9/11, fights deployment fears amid Gulf War era rules and ongoing operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The plaintiff, whose name is withheld, argues the policy clashes with an all volunteer force though Army officials defend its necessity for unit cohesion. No court date set.
