AMY GEORGE Spectator Staff Since 9\11, and more recently, the war in Iraq, the United States military has relied heavily on its’ armed forces to carry out the orders of our president and Congress. As a result, a stop loss was issued which reserved the government’s right to call or recall troops as needed even if inactive at the time. At least 8,016 United States troops have been wounded in action during they war with Iraq. Also, the coalition death number is up to 1,246. If a poll was taken across the McPherson College campus about the stresses students face, worries about being sent overseas may not come out very high on the list. For those students who are in the military however, the possibility of being called to duty is a reality they live with daily. One such student is Craig Baum, a 29-year-old junior from Phoenix, Ariz.
