COLORADO SPRINGS - Soldiers from a Fort Carson combat unit say they have been issued an ultimatum - re-enlist for three more years or be transferred to other units expected to deploy to Iraq.

Hundreds of soldiers from the 3rd Brigade Combat Team were presented with that message and a re-enlistment form in a series of assemblies last Thursday, said two soldiers who spoke on condition of anonymity.

1. I saw this on CNN as a quikie. So thanks

They are trying to hold off the draft I guess. How does he think this will not be brought out. What a shifty little vermon he is.

2. Good for morale.

Blackmail the troops. Good. Smart. Someone's living in a fantasy world of spin.

3. Those NAZI bastards!

They can't get their cannon fodder any other way than with threats! Hitler once threatened to execute the families of any German soldier who didn't stand and fight to the last bullet. This is what I've been saying all over the net for MONTHS: Smirk and Co are out-and-out NAZIS, who will stop at NOTHING to steal the next election, emasculate the Constitution and try to perpetuate themselves in office, i.e. "President for Life" like they do it in some South American countries!
