FAYETTEVILLE, North Carolina (AP) -- Army Command Sgt. Maj. James R. Jordan has much in common with his younger brother, retired basketball star Michael Jordan.

He loves his job, believes in helping his team and expects maximum effort from those around him. And like his brother, James Jordan likes to leave on his own terms.

He has asked to stay in the Army for a year beyond his mandatory retirement date so he can complete a yearlong deployment to Iraq with the 35th Signal Brigade.

"We are currently at war," Jordan said before the unit started shipping out Sunday. "We are doing things, and it requires leaders to do certain things. That's what I am, a leader."

Under normal conditions, the 47-year-old Jordan would wind down his Army career in the spring as he approached the 30-year mark, but he has no intention of getting on an airplane April 29 and coming home.

"That's not the way you want to end a 30-year career," Jordan told The Fayetteville Observer.

Yeah... might as well pass over all the nice stories in the media and focus on only the bad things.

God, why do you have to hate everything so much...

I don't see any other news stories about every other soldier going to Iraq. This is crap that he gets more recognition for doing his duty because he's the brother of an asshole basketball player.

Actually he's getting more recognition for doing more than his duty required him. He requested to be deployed instead of retiring. I'd never heard anything about him before this, and there have been plenty of news stories about other soldiers not tied to celebrities, doing things like this as well.

Now stop being a douche.
 
There are a lot of stories about soldiers being told, this one happens to be the brother of MJ, it's still pretty neat, the fact that he's passing up retierment to go to war, suggest that to almost anyone else in the world, and you'll get laughed at. No need to crap thread (but i guess there is since this is ATOT after all :roll: )
