Default Stop loss policy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop-loss_policy

What do you guys and gals think of the stop-loss policy?? It is explained in the Wikipedia article above?

Recently saw the movie Stop-Loss at the Rialto here in TV but thought it was a little heavy handed. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0489281/

Legally, I am having problems with how this could be challenged because of various separation of powers arguments. The US Constitution and cases on it give the President as Commander-in-Chief a great deal of power with respect to the military. Congress would not be able to do all that much because of all the power the President has in that area based on the US Constitution.

Looks like Senator Hillary Clinton has taken a stance of the stop-loss policy-- http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/Top_New...s_policy/1244/
