After his 5th call-up reservist sues Army

Erik Botta, a first-generation immigrant to the US, signed up to defend his adopted country after the terror attacks on September 11, 2001. He was sent to Afghanistan as a reservist. After he came home, he was shipped off to Iraq as part of a special ops team. He was later deployed to Iraq a third time and then a fourth. But, now a sergeant, he's had enough: he's suing the Army to either prevent or delay a fifth deployment.
