5. wonder how that military vote is going to work in the GOP's

favor this time?

The Army issued so-called "stop loss" and "stop movement" orders for soldiers in all units that will deploy outside the United States to take part in future missions in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Army has previously issued such orders covering some troops in the two conflicts, but not as broadly as the latest move. Since the attacks on the United States on Sept. 11, 2001, some 45,000 soldiers have been affected by similar orders, Hagenbeck said.

Let's see, we have outright lies at the recruitment level, deception over compensation, loss of benefits and lots of "stop-loss" orders.
