You volunteer to join the military; you non't necessarily volunteer to do everything they have you do.

I don't know whether this guy in particular volunteered for this tour, but I remember lots of people being called up for extra tours for Iraq, past what a "standard" alotment was.

With the drawdown in Iraq, maybe we have enough forces that people with several tours under their belt already only go if they volunteer, though.
