Couple notes about the above, those that fail to report after being called up could face AWOL or desertion charges.
The other note that grabbed me was the Army considering to close its premier training center at Fort Irwin in California so the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, the much-vaunted Opposition Force against which the Army's tank divisions hone their combat skills, would be available for combat duty in Iraq.
You have to be really scrapping bottom if you are taking one of your most elite training companies to do law enforcement work, just because there are no more bodies to do so.
I can't imagine what would happen if we had to conduct major combat operations in another part of the world with all our resources in the Gulf. If the Chinese really wanted to take back Taiwan, now would be the time to do it.
Read the writing on the wall folks, if Bush gets in again, at this rate there will be another draft, and those kids will be going to Iraq and Afghanistan to be overglorfied cops walking a beat for "War on Terrorism"
