[HARDCORE]

My, My, Neil, you are starting to sound like someone who is genuinely pissed-off! Maybe if you (and all of us) would pound-off a few letters to those who make the decisions on such matters, they might eventually catch on!?

I just read a piece, e-mailed to me from a Gulf War Site, that claimed the retention rate among career military is falling off?

Don't know how much fact there is to this, but I get the feeling that a few of these honorable guys and gals are none too pleased, and the piece that I read claims that the Pentagon is starting to resort to what they termed as - "STOP-LOSS?"

Again, don't know how much truth the piece e-mailed to me entailed, but I do know that trust in a lot of those who dwell within the Middle East is vastly over-rated!? (opinion)
