11. My understanding of the stop loss

is that it only pertains to units with orders for Iraq or Afghanistan, war zones IOW. An individual soldier can not be involuntarily extended unless his unit has orders for one of those two places and then it as the discression of the unit commanders. Therefore, Kosovo/Bosnia, currently at least, do not fall under the stop loss order. Back in 1998, Kosovo possibly fell under a stop loss of some sort. Is that around the time when you got out by chance? Personally, I didn't much care for the Balkans and I think we should pull out and let Europe take over in a gesture of thanks for all of their support for us over the past few years.
