Soldier Sues Army To Stop 5th Call To Duty In 6 Years

An American Army soldier who has already served 4 tours of duty in both Iraq and Afganistan has had enough. Army Reservist Erik Botta is suing the army to stop his 5th call to duty in 6 years in order that he can pursue his long delayed education. Botta joined the military shortly after the attacks of 9-11 and says now that after 4 years of serving overseas that he wants to continue working for the Sikorsky aircraft corporation, where he is currently employed, as well as complete his education in electrical engineering. The problem is that he has one year left on his contract with the military and that is why he has been called up again. Botta says that he is willing to serve that final year but first would like the time that he needs to complete his studies in engineering. The government did not back off and so he sued.
