  Simple solution here!!! It's a volunteer military, court martial the guy, give him a dishonorable discharge and consider it good for the military not having him in uniform.

    Here's another solution:

    Allow him to present to the American public the truth of what's happening in Iraq, unfiltered. Then we can judge for ourselves what horrors are taking place there.

      Chirioux is a victim of stop-loss, a controversial wartime power that the George W. Bush administration has used to keep soldiers from leaving the military when their term of service expires. Critics call the policy a "back-door draft".

      If he was a "reporter" why would he be "stop-lossed"?

      He's not part of a combat team, "stop-loss" when used is to keep a team together either just before or during a deployment. The reason is so that any "new guy" will have time to train with their team before being in combat.

      That wouldn't apply to a reporter. I smell BS here!

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop-loss_policy

      Soldiers subjected to stop-loss orders are often those whose enlistment period ends during a combat tour or who are due to leave within 90 days of the scheduled start of a combat tour. Without the stop-loss policy, the Army would have to replace those soldiers with new ones who had not trained with the unit.

        "used to keep soldiers from leaving the military when their term of service expires"

        Uhm this is a crock. The "term of service" is 8 years.

        Every person who enlists in a branch of the U.S. Armed Forces signs an initial contract with an eight (8) year service obligation. The enlistment contract for a person going on active duty generally stipulates an initial period of active duty from 2 to 4 years, followed by service in a reserve component of the Armed Forces of the United States for the remainder of the eight year obligation.[1] The usual implementation of a stop-loss is an involuntary extention of the initial active duty term of service, not an extension beyond the eight-year service obligation.

      Uhmm what's stopping him?

      "the American public the truth"

      How bout we first establish who this guy is. Name, Branch, Rank, Unit, C.O. S.NCO When he was in Iraq, where was he stationed and what was his MOS.

      Next give us the signed legal statement of what crimes "things" he is talking about. Who what when and where, ya know FACTS that can be checked.

      Then by all means we will have FULL coverage on ALL networks so that once and for all we will GET the TRUTH.

      And if there aren't enough horrors taking place over there to support your Islamic cause, use al-taqqiya (caused by 3:28 and 16:106) to LIE... and say that they are there.
