“Backdoor Draft” Challenged

From Salon.com:

"An anonymous California National Guardsman filed suit in Federal District Court in San Francisco on Tuesday claiming that a "stop loss" order preventing him from leaving the military at the end of his contract is a violation of his civil liberties -- the first legal challenge to the 40,000 stop-loss orders issued by the U.S. military since 9/11."

See "Doe" vs. Rumsfeld for the complete story.
