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).
Sorry, but that sounds weak, with all due respect......the Founding Fathers could have been HUNG, but they spoke out fiercely. Our ACTIVE Military needs ALL of US speaking the truth about what is going on!!
