Cover Up

AP:

Army commanders denied allegations Wednesday that soldiers have been threatened with deployment to Iraq if they do not re-enlist.

"It's just not being done," Lt. Col. David Johnson said. "We are a professional army. We want soldiers who want to be in the Army," he said.

Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo., has demanded an investigation into claims that Iraqi war veterans near the end of their enlistments had been given a choice between re-enlisting or being sent back to Iraq.

You tell 'em, Colonel. It simply couldn't happen, and that's your final answer. Just like Abu Ghraib didn't happen, just like all the gay-bashings/murders never happened, just like Tailhook never happened. This is a professional Army and there is no need to investigate because these things NEVER happen.

Big fat mo-fo cover up. Once again, at the expense of our troops. If anyone knows ANY service member out there who was coerced in to re-enlisting, email me - I PROMISE I will make that soldier the biggest national news story you've seen in years. Then see if they force them to serve.
