Just heard that on MSNBC..what's up with that? Is that blackmail. Why not just come out with an open draft? Don't dittoheads realize that this is one way to get THEIR children to stay in harms way so that the children of the 'elite' can stay home and spend their inheritence and tax breaks? WTF!

1. Yes and no
The Army requested files on all non-active reserves and someone started sending out notifications that they had to report.

The Army very quickly reversed itself and those who signed up are being let off the hook.

2. I heard that..
or they will be sent to Iraq! This is to be on Olberman's show this evening.
Why would they do that? Of course, they would not want large numbers getting ut of the military at this time. It would look bad during the middle of a war.???

3. Open drafts don't work
The silver spoon set will always find a way out.
