据美国《华盛顿观察》12月3日报道,“9·11”恐怖袭击发生7年来,美军已经陆续征召65万名国民警卫队和预备役人员投入伊拉克和阿富汗战场。为了解决这些“中断”正常生活的预备役人员后顾之忧,《军人就业和再就业权利法案》保证他们在服役期间可以保存原有的职位和薪水。但是在金融海啸所带来的危机中,很多从战场归来的预备役人员发现自己的“饭碗”不保。 According to the Washington Observatory on December 3, the U.S. military has successively enlisted 650,000 National Guard units and reservists into the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan over the past seven years since the Sept.11 terrorist attacks. In order to deal with these “interrupted” normal life reservists, the Military Employment and Reemployment Rights Act guarantees that they will retain their original positions and salaries while in service. However, during the crisis brought about by the financial tsunami, many reservists returning from the battlefield found that their “rice bowls” were not guaranteed.
