Defense policy two weeks ago regarding soldiers playing
professional sports, requiring cadets to complete two years of
active duty before applying for a release.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://sports.aol.com/nfl/story/_a/bbdp/army-orders-draft-pick-to-duty/97718?icid=100214839x1206236461x1200301354">"It's unfortunate, but it doesn't mean Caleb Campbell's dream
is dead. It just means it will be delayed," Army spokeswoman Lt.
Col. Anne Edgecomb told The Associated Press. "We want to take
care of soldiers and dashing their hopes is not what we intend. But
it is what it is."</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://sports.aol.com/nfl/story/_a/bbdp/army-orders-draft-pick-to-duty/97718?icid=100214839x1206236461x1200301354">Campbell and the Lions didn't officially receive notice of the change until the eve of
