Petraeus: “The big green weenie that we are giving to the troopers after politely asking them to bend over with ‘stop-loss’ and ‘involuntary extension’ is about this big. And it’s called the fifteenth month deployment.”

The stop-loss Congress group will bring Adam Kokesh, a former Marine Corps sergeant who is now active against the war.
