and be threatened if you ask for reembursement... guess that was just the foreshadowing for the treatment to come from this administration per reservists.

from the story:

Plaintiff Louis Tortorella, a retired National Guard captain from Brookline, N.H., said starting in December 2001 he commuted up to 126 miles one way during assignments at Quabbin, Westover Air Reserve Base in western Massachusetts, and Camp Edwards on Cape Cod.

Tortorella said his commute started at 4:30 a.m., and he sometimes didn't get home until midnight. He was forced to sell his shares in a Tewksbury car dealership and blames a heart attack last year on stress from his assignments.

He says he spent $14,625 of his own money during 21 months of active duty.
