Sarah Lazare | Involuntary Military Service Under the Radar http://www.truthout.org/052109R?n Sarah Lazare, Truthout: "'I felt like I was being robbed of everything,' Matthew Dobbs said over the phone from his home in Houston, Texas. 'I had visions of military police banging down my door and dragging me back to war.'

It is the story of a soldier who, after serving a tour overseas and being discharged from active duty, received involuntary orders to redeploy to Iraq or Afghanistan years later."

It's heading straight into what, in the Vietnam era, was known as 'the big muddy.'" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ShadowGovernment" group.
