"-Reservists have lost there homes and permanent jobs"

Could you expand on this more? I thought when a reservist was called into duty, the business by law had to give him his old position when he returned.

Wish I could remember where I saw the reference but the Roman empire had issues sometimes with greedy landowners taking over the smaller plots owned by farmers called up to be soldiers, who after serving the empire returned to find thier land stolen with no legal recourse.
