These are the people that Harry Reid wants to stop paying. Even with that possibility hanging over their head, and recovering from wounds, they love their country enough to keep at it.

An American soldier who was seriously wounded during a bomb attack in Iraq on Nov. 13 re-enlisted just hours after the ambush, telling Army officers he still had a job to do, the Army reported Monday.

Spc. Christopher Hoyt, an infantryman from California with the 4th Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division, based out of Fort Lewis, Wash., was injured after an improvised explosive device — or IED — exploded near him while he was out on a foot patrol near Zaganiyah, Iraq.

He said he wasn’t finished,” Hoyt’s battalion commander Lt. Col. Mark Landes said.
