geesh...he hasn’t been in for YEARS!! I know he fell off a ladder and was injured badly....maybe a Democrat kicked the ladder out from under him as a warning.
It does not matter how long we have been out. I have been retired for over 20 years. I can be called back by the Pentagon and Army at any time they feel they need me. Say the nation actually went to another world war. I could be called back to fill a job state side, in a legal office here and that frees a younger soldier to go overseas. I was initially in the infantry, but was wounded in Vietnam and as a result of the injuries, the Army reclassified my primary MOS (military occupational specialty or my job title, I.E. Infantry, medic, engineer, etc.)and I was made a legal specialist, working in Army Judge Advocate General’s Corp offices (JAG offices), and mainly worked on courts-martial. I would be made to do that stateside as a 60+ year old and the young folks go overseas. Officers can be recalled at any time also. We can, if the government wanted too, recall any retiree and court-martial us if they feel we have done something that warrants it, I.E. treason, etc. or even in Obama’s case, we spoke out against him).
