Previously, I had support this kid, but when I read this line...

“Army spokeswoman Maj. Cheryl Phillips noted that Army Reserve units deploy for 12 consecutive months, and that Botta had only accumulated about 10 nonconsecutive months of deployment. She also noted that Botta was under an eight-year service contract.”

...my sympathy waned.

Suck it up soldier.

Why isn’t that the FIRST line of the article. In my opinion it’s the most salient. Unless, of course, you are trying to make the army look bad. Naw... they wouldn’t, would they?

I should also point out that *I* have more post-9-11 deployment time than this whiner.

She also noted that Botta was under an eight-year service contract.

Oops, I didn't read that before my last post.
