(CBS4) PORT ST. LUCIE An army reservist from Port St. Lucie plans to sue the military after being ordered to report for a fifth deployment.
In the days after the attacks on September 11th, 26-year old Erik Botta signed up to serve. After a tour in Afghanistan and three in Iraq, he said enough is enough.
Botta plans to file suit this week asking for an exemption or delay so he can complete his engineering studies. He'll also ask the court to prevent the Army from requiring him to report for duty until the legal questions are settled.
An Army spokeswoman says the service evaluates "each request independently to determine if the mobilization will cause undue hardship for the soldier or the family."
