Stop-loss is a term primarily used in the United States military. In the U.S. military, it is the involuntary extension of a service member's active duty service under the enlistment contract in order to retain them beyond their initial end of term of service (ETS) date and up to their contractually agreed end of obligated service (EOS). This petition has been made against our soldiers beinf forced to keep fighting over seas. The men who mentally and physically prepare themselves to fight for our country, should not be obligated to leave their families once again.
