Lions' Campbell must answer call of duty

This is a poor decision made by the senior leadership in the Army and DOD. The average career of a professional sports player is only a few years. LT Campbell and the minor league baseball players who are being called back is a terrible decision since they already were told that they could persue their dream of playing professional sports. Even after their sports career is over, they would still have plenty of time to serve their commitment. It the senior leadership is going to make a decision, at least stick with the decision made. This is what good leaders do, not change policy and decisions based on how it makes them look or how it changes operations. These few pro sports/officers are asked to do something that will affect the morale of thousands of troops and morale is the best attribute that a commander can have. If a commander has morale in his troops, he can accomplish anything. I am a U.S. Army officer in a small recruiting station and I would use these Soldier/athletes in my station and also give them the flexibility to at least finish the season. (for the baseball players at least) And the Army's senior leadership is constantly scratching their heads as to why they cannot keep company grade officers in the Army.
