U.S. Army to expand involuntary service orders

Donna Miles of the Armed Forces Press Service, reported Jan. 2 that the Army would be announcing a further expansion of its existing “stop-loss” program within the next week or two.
No numbers yet.
I wrote more about the “stop-loss” program here Dec. 29. It’s a program of totally involuntary military service imposed on the hard-pressed men and women who are already in the various branches of the armed forces. I titled that post “The draft that dares not speak its name.”
At that point, I was citing press reports that more than 40,000 people had already been affected in the Army program. Plus, an unknown number of members of other branches of the armed forces.
