As a disabled vet myself I can not imagine them sending me back. Not that I would mind being back in, but a man needs to be on top of his game to be in combat or people will get hurt. Remember a chain is only as strong as its weekest link.

Recalling disabled soldiers to deploy to Iraq? My own public apology Top of Form 1 We are already keeping thousands of young americans long past thier contracted time and recalling thousands more, all of it via the "stop-loss policy that was first used during the gulf war. I believe that it's wromg to hold anyone who hasn't comitted a crime against his or her will but to recall people that can't defend not only themselves but your sons or daughters either and worse yet might be putting other young peoples safety in jepordy is crossing the line and we must stop this practice. With that in mind I am submitting this letter of apology.     To whom it may concern,  I am a 49 year old father of two who has written maybe six letters in my entire life and am writing this one because I feel that it is important that I publicly apologize. No, I’m not a murderer or kidnapper, I’m not a burglar or shoplifter or even a speeder when I get behind the wheel of a car, but I am as guilty as if I were any of these. My crime is that, like a large percentage of the people reading this letter, I haven’t been paying attention. You say that not paying attention isn’t a crime. Well it should be when it comes to issues of this importance. You see, until very recently I had no real understanding about our government’s “stop loss” policy. Sure I had heard about it and read little snippets in the paper about it, but how important could it be. After all, I never saw it in the sports or entertainment sections with the really important stuff. I don’t have any kids in the military, and after all didn’t these people sign contracts knowing full well that they could be giving as much as eight years servitude to our country, and haven’t I always been one of the first to say thank you when meeting a service person? It didn’t really affect me anyway, did it?  I’m ashamed and embarrassed to say that what prompted my change in attitude was finding out that I am affected. You see, I learned that someone very dear to my heart is being recalled to active duty. The sad thing is that if it had been almost anyone other than this particular person I would probably be enjoying my usual Sunday afternoon routine of napping in my recliner, and watching golf through my eyelids without a care in the world. Instead I find myself a very angry man, pounding away at my computer with my only two fingers that can find the keys that my brain tells them to find. Please let me help you to understand why this particular case was enough to wake me up.  My very good friend Jake Cederbloom, of Kennewick Washington, is a 27 year old, married, father of two children under the age of four, who recently received orders to report to prepare to deploy to Iraq. Now understand, Jake signed up seven and a half years ago knowing full well that if war broke out he would probably be asked to deploy and he fully understood and accepted it. What you need to know is that he has had four years of active service, more than two of it overseas in Germany and Kosovo before he was released. He had been having serious problems with his knees and back and at the time of his release it was determined that he had a 40% disability. When Jake received his orders, he had been inactive for three and a half years, and considering his disability, we all, (his family and I), thought that it must be some kind of a mistake, so he got all of his paperwork in order and took it to the local recruiting office to see what, if anything he could do. They agreed that, based on his documentation, his orders “most likely” were a mistake and counseled him to file a disability exemption, which he did. We all assumed that his exemption would come through in a few weeks and continued on with our lives. A week ago Jake received word that his request has been denied. Our military has determined that “a 40% disability should not deter him from serving”.  Ok, I have known this person for a while now so I can say with all honesty and seriousness that if you send this young man into a war zone you may as well paint a target on not only his back but on the back of any other young patriot near him that might feel compelled to attempt to help him to safety because I promise you that he is not physically able to run for cover. It’s been documented that the last six months of his active service at Fort Sill, Ok. He was allowed to walk at his own pace and distance, he could not carry or fire any weapons, and he could not wear Kevlar, rucksack, or TA50. To compound his situation, after his release he and his family were rear ended in an auto accident in June of 2003, causing further injury to his back. I love Jake, but knowing his limitations I wouldn’t want him serving next to a member of my family. Would you?  When I said that I hadn’t been paying attention it really was an understatement, because what I found out this week was that there have been dozens of articles written about the ‘stop loss’ policy. In fact all of the information that I could ever want to know about what Jake and his family are going through was one Google search for “stop loss” or “back door draft” away. I found out that Jake’s case was not the only one or even the most ridiculous of its kind. After one Google search I learned that we can tell our young people that if you read your contract, start to finish, and cross your Ts and dot your Is then everybody signing has to “by law” honor that contract, period, just to find out that we are lying to our children. I found out that our military can extend anyone’s contract by an additional 2 years past the contracted 8 years without repercussion but if you decide to honor the original contract that you signed and not show up for the extension, that even though you are a patriot who volunteered to serve your country for eight years, and have eaten sand in a country that you know very little about you will be labeled a criminal and risk going to jail.  Now, I’m not some kind of radical or subversive. I’m just a concerned citizen who hates being lied to, who canceled out his wife’s vote twice by voting for both Bushes, and who hates most of all admitting that my wife may have been right and that I may have been wrong.  When I said that this was a letter of apology I meant it and when I said that I was angry I meant that too. I’m angry with those elected officials who are supporting the “stop loss” but I’m more angry with myself for not holding my elected officials accountable at the polls and for voting based on what they tell me rather than researching the issues and voting as an informed citizen. So to you Jacob Cederbloom and to the other thousands of families being affected by the “stop loss”(back door draft), I apologize with all of my heart and please know that I am one citizen who will tell everyone that I meet what I have found out after just one Google search in just one week of being awake. Respectfully, Donald R. Fleming, Grandview, Washington   P.S.  Jake's orders are to report on Aug. 21.
