Dick Cheney himself said that there is little a sitting president can do to affect the way a president can utilize his military. That the successes and failures are almost entirely a product of presidents past, and Clinton presided over the previous 8 full years of military spending.
After Gulf War I, Cheney put in a call to Ronald Reagan to thank him for the military he built for Bush. He never did it for Clinton though.... Even though, Clinton and Reagan were in the exact same position to help/hurt the military.
Not just those who are currently in the boundaries of a "war-zone" are being stop-lossed. The article that this thread was started off of tells the story of 3 men who were in america, trying to discharge themselves from the military, when they learned they were stop-lossed.
