quote "As anyone who has served downrange knows, these units are stop-lossed for their entire deployment and until a minimum of 3 months after they return home. When given the option to re-enlist for a 2 year period, for example that often does not add much time in service beyond that incurred by the stop loss and therefore they would be foolish to pass up on lucrative re-enlistment bonuses if they are forced to serve well beyond their contracts anyway."
