US Soldier Takes on the Pentagon

John Doe, a reservist, claims that the extended mobilizations of reservists and National Guardsmen who have fulfilled their tour of duty caused psychological problems.

The soldier, who returned to the US in December after fulfilling his tour of duty, was informed that he was to be redeployed for an additional two years.

John Doe’s petition cites a conclusion from the September 11th Commission’s report that says: "There is no relation between Iraq and the terror attacks of September 11th."

Thus, the petition suggests that the army cannot act under the pretext of a battle against terrorism.

The contracts of more than 4,000 US soldiers have been extended against their wish.
