The Border tackles Stop Loss and US Soldiers in Canada

Last year while Stephen Harper was brown nosing and pretending the US does not practice torture the people at the Border did an episode about US rendition flights (and one that crash landed in Northern Quebec). So, given that Canada's treatment of US war resisters has become a hotly contested issue this election season I am greatly looking forward to seeing how the Border handles the issue in their season premier tomorrow night.

Although I don't have a clear idea of how the issue will be treated there are clues at a Canadian Army Forum:
"For the episode (entitled Stoploss) the synopsis is: Three American soldiers plunge into the Niagara River and swim to Canada.   Deserters, refusing to return to Iraq under the U.S.’s “stop loss” policy, they  seek refugee status in Canada.   Major Mike Kessler and his Immigration and Customs Security (ICS) Squad are forced to deal with the fallout -- from Canadian anti-war protestors to an incensed American four-star general.  One of the soldiers has a psychotic breakdown forcing Major Kessler to face his worst nightmare."
The show can be seen tomorrow night (monday, Sept. 29) at 9 p.m. on CBC. If it's something you're into you can also follow the border via their Facebook Group and/or on Twitter as well as their CBC Web Site.

This installment should be very interesting. Whether it's aired as scheduled or not, there'll be a to-do about it somewhere, and not just on military message boards.

Why would a government adopt a policy of stop loss after a major conflcit. It's brutal on our forces whether it's being discloused or not. I don't agree with the policy because it's socialst in nature. When secret societies dictate our war policies so that their children are excluded from war , we have abandoned our democratic process to allow a submersive process of collusion to dictate our nations
political policies. Don't we have a right to know how our government works ?

Is the military program of Stop Loss directly related to the repercussion of Watergate and should these policies be halted ? When Mark Felt { Deep Throat } leaked the information that a policy of war had been signed into our Executive that would exclude certain members and sectors of our society from having to serve in the military , are the current policies of Stop Loss what they had in mind ? Although the Stop Loss policy has some redeeming benefits , it's long term goals are mainly responsible for the fatigue and exhaustion of our current troops. The personal effort in the military has become so desperate that you have some soldiers serving in war zones while taking psychological medications and sleeping pills. Considering the long and short term effects of this policy , it appears genocidal in nature and unfair to the military personnel that have so boldly volunteered to serve and defend our country. Please take a minute through the holiday season and think about the people defending your nation and write your legislators and demand the program of Stop Loss be stopped.

Reported Mark Felt Leaked that A System To Delete The Need For War was signed into the Executive and that a Black Operational Government had been incorporated into our government.
