Movie: Stop Loss

(Nationwide release: March 28, 2008)

Stop Loss: The retention of soldiers in the service beyond their expected term. Using a loophole in soldiers' military contracts to prohibit servicemen and women from retiring once their required term of service is complete. Also widely known as a "Back Door Draft."

As a result there have been record rates of desertion in recent years. This movie is about one otherwise obedient soldier's decision to either ship back to Iraq or go to Canada.

  • As Americans we are bathing in bullshit every single day. It's unavoidable. So, if we can't avoid it, we might as well come to understand it. This is a group exercise, so if you'd like to point something out to us, by all means, do.
