.Al-Sadr: Troops Should Get Jobs Back
NAJAF, Iraq (AP) - Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr is demanding the Iraqi government reinstate all security forces fired for deserting during fighting in Basra.
Monday's statement comes a day after more than 1,300 soldiers and policemen were sacked for abandoning their posts or refusing to fight when clashes broke out.
The anti-U.S. cleric says those who gave up their arms "were only obeying their grand religious leaders" and "were driven by their religious duties."
He says in a statement issued by his office in holy city of Najaf that they should be reinstated and even rewarded for their loyalty.

If you ask me they should be barred from all government jobs, or any government assistance including the food assistance.
