Petition to Stop Deployments of Injured Veterans...Please Sign.
Edited on Mon Oct-11-10 01:46 PM by whathehell

The son of an acquaintance of mine was "re-deployed" ten days after he tried to kill himself..He did make it back alive and in one piece, though I have no word as to his mental health.

Apparently, the policies on re-deployment have NOT improved.....Apparently, they are now deploying vets who are physically injured, even with Traumatic Brain Injury!

This is abusive and immoral and as John Kerry noted: nothing but a Back-Door DRAFT.

Please sign this petition. Thanks.

4. I hope that your son is now at home and safe.
These multiple deployments ESPECIALLY when injured are abhorrent.

Do you know if anyone has tried to legally challenge the govt. about them?
