WHERE'S THE OUTRAGE?
Advertisements [?]
Several individuals claim they are being involuntarily recalled for placement in the Army Reserve, despite having been out of the Army for over two years. Apparently the referenced action is being taken because of the Army’s ongoing manning problems. There has always been a continuing liability for recall after separation, but this back door draft is understandably greeted with surprise and concern. Even though it’s a volunteer army, these guys didn’t sign up with the idea of spending their entire lives in the desert. This compulsory military service - against the individual’s will - is outrageous.

One back door draft soldier wrote that his contract ended 2 Aug 06 but he's still stuck in Iraq with 6 months left to serve.

He is one of the lucky ones
