Military Stop Loss

Why do the moronic ramblings of Liz Cheney draw so much more attention than the fact that our soldiers are now murdering themselves at a faster clip than our enemies do?

Surging in Afghanistan sounds great in theory, but I wonder if it ever occurred to the presidential candidates that we missed our opportunity 7 years ago?

Let's say you joined the military and agreed to three years of active-duty service. With "stop loss" you could get held for six months, twelve months, even as long as twenty-one months past the time of your contract.
