Michigan National Guard 1st Lt. Demetries Luckett, of Harper Woods, is seen outside of Tech Town in Detroit, Tuesday, Nov. 22, 2011. Two months ago, Luckett left his job in Michigan, turned in his cable box, sent his daughter to live with her mother, and headed for Camp Shelby in Mississippi. As a 1st lieutenant in Michigan's National Guard, he was being deployed to Afghanistan. But just a month after he arrived for training, the Army decided Uncle Sam didn't need him after all. Now Luckett's unemployed and back home in Harper Woods, Mich. _ a victim of the Obama administration's ongoing effort to pull at least 33,000 U.S. troops out of Afghanistan by next fall.
