Decorated Iraq war hero Sgt. Brandon King makes a celebrated return to his small Texas hometown following his tour of duty. Brandon tries to resume the life he left behind with the help and support of his loving family, and his best friend, Steve Shriver, who served with Brandon in Iraq. Alongside their war-time buddies, Brandon and Steve try to make peace with civilian life. Then, against Brandon’s will, under a measure called “Stop Loss,” the Army indefinitely extends Brandon’s enlistment and forces him back to Iraq. This upends Brandon’s entire world, and sends him to one of the only people he can trust: his childhood friend – and Steve’s fiancée – Michele. Michele becomes Brandon’s confidante and accomplice as he races across the U.S. – a fugitive from justice in the country he fought to protect – in search of a way out of his predicament.

ive spent two and a half years fighting in Iraq and I too "havent complained" but i think a movie glorrifying being a coward is disgusting. Him being a SSG he would know what the army is all about and that he enlisted for 8yrs regardless of what his contract was initially for... there are thousands of soldiers who were in the same position who took the honorable path and finished the job they started. Way to make cowards look like heros!!! but i geuss thats a right hundreds of thousands of us fight for. Have fun making money of people who only know enough about the Army to piss them off and there isnt a soldier who doesnt know what he got into.... Disgusting
