RE-ENLIST...OR TAKE YOUR CHANCES IN IRAQ: The ongoing war in Iraq has
left the U.S. military stretched paper thin. According to the Rocky

Army after their service requirements have been fulfilled. Troops from a
Fort Carson combat unit say they were issued an ultimatum: re-up for
three more years or take their chances in Iraq

. Soldiers were told if they didn't sign the recruitment form extending
their enlistment through December 2007, they would be reassigned to
units likely to ship out to Iraq.
