If the Marine Corps can recall reservists who have fulfilled their

[chieftain]

duty to their country, why can't the Air Force Reserve call Doofus back to complete the duty which he abandoned?
Just asking?

1. I Get Your Point...

but * is now Commander in Chief of the entire U.S. military. I think he'd argue that he's hard at work leading the trooops.

[Monkeyman]

2. I still have contacts in DOD

They are looking to call back about 32,000 mostly Combat MOS's

[Monkeyman]

3. As to Dubba he would have to pass a drug test

[grytpype]

4. From the IRR?

Why not just call it a draft and get it over with.

[Monkeyman]

5. This is a backdoor draft

[patricia92243]

11. Yes, and how long can it last. Somebody is going to have stand up and do

something about our military personnel - or lack thereof.

Nobody wants to be the one to start a draft. I don't have an answer of what to do, but I do know what we are doing now is not working.

6. Some rich kids might have to go.

Can't have that now. The whole idea of war is attrition until someone surrenders. Joe and muffy might get creamed in the process.

[Monkeyman]

7. Never saw a rich kids in Nam

[chieftain]

8. That's what the National Guard was for then, not now.

It takes the cynicism of a Republican to purposely confuse what most NG service was during Nam to the real sacrifice that we are demanding from Guards and Reservists in order to protect W's sorry ass.

[Monkeyman]

10. That is why Bush went in a Air NG

[formercia]

9. Same situation today, methinks. n/t

[formercia]

18. Seems like a trend since WWII

Not for our kind of people :sarcasm:

12. Junior? Don't think so...

...i'm not certain if he received an honorable or just a general discharge, but the terms of his separation from service would seem to include a discharge designation that precludes being returned to service, which is extremely unusual, if not unheard of. Under the relevant code, there are ten or twelve criteria for non-recallable separation, and the one's that possibly apply are alcoholism/substance abuse, conduct unbecoming (an officer--although technically, since Junior went directly from boot camp to flight school without passing through OTS, he might have a case here), and moral torpitude. Just another service-related scandal swept under the rug by the M$M...

[Stinky The Clown]

13. He 'claims' he got an honorable ..... but can't find his DD214.

I challenge ANY vet to say he's lost his DD214. You just don't do that. Mine's more than 35 years old and I know **exactly** where it is.

I also still know my service number. I bet any vet does. Wonder if AWOLBoy knows his.

[theanarch]

14. remarkable how many documents...

...relating to Junior's "service" have disappeared, been destroyed, gotten lost, or (to the career-ending chagrin of Dan Rather) recycled as forgeries, isn't it? Although i'm serene in the confidence that the fair and balanced media would accord Gore and Kerry the same "it's just paperwork that doesn't matter" treatment if they had such problems...NOT.

[chieftain]

15. Well, I wasn't 100% serious in my suggestion, but

you have to admit there is some delicious symmetry to the thought.

[theanarch]

16. uh, i think that's called poetic justice...

...delicious symmetry would be having him drive around Anbar province in an unarmored Humvee...

[chieftain]

17. From your computer to God's ear

[ShortnFiery]

19. Yes, and flanked for security by his twin daughters and George P.

All in US Army Uniforms with Military Police Insignia.

Oh please? oh please?!? What a beautiful fantasy! :P

Woof!
