"I can't do push ups because I can't bend my hand that way. I can't climb rope. I can't do pull ups. I don't have any strength in my hand," Haun said. "I can't really carry anything that's heavy with my left hand because there's always the possibility of popping some screw loose."
His father, Earl Haun of Crestview, Fla., suggested there's a screw loose already - with any Army policy that allows redeployment of soldiers obviously not fit for duty. His son is just one of many, Earl Haun said, and it's time somebody called the Army on it.
A Government Accountability Office report in May cited inconsistencies in Defense Department instructions on pre-deployment health assessments.

"Also, because Haun's 39-month enlistment doesn't end until January, Haun will have to stay in Iraq under a "stop loss" order. His active service time will be involuntarily extended by at least nine months."
Umm BS. No such thing as a 39-month enlistment. ALL enlistments are 96 months. ALL.
If the doctors say he's fit for duty and or light duty then that's what it is.
He would be on light duty according to this report.
He doesn't meet the criteria for "stop lose"
