In April of 2008 Army's 2nd Lt. Caleb Campbell was drafted the first round of the NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions. At first the Army had no problem with the West Point football star fulfilling military obligation by serving two years as a recruiter in his spare time. On Wednesday the Army sent a letter to the Detroit Lions informing them that a change in Army policy means Campbell would have to cease getting ready to play for the football team."Campbell has been directed to cease full-time participation in professional football to perform full-time traditional military duties," Army Adjutant General Lt. Col Jonathan Liba wrote to the Lions. The letter said Campbell could apply for release from active duty obligations in two years. The Army said in a statement that Campbell deserved the recognition for his football career, but must wait to play.
