In the situation you are describing the current military will be gone and any military retiree with less then 30 years would be recalled especially those with special skills.
Theyll be lucky if half of them show up.

Not sure what you mean? We had four retirees recalled in 2004 and that was just our command. At least one went to Iraq. Or do you mean would not show up to fight or would not return to base?
If it was me, I grab my family and get my a$$ on base where they were safe, had food and a roof over their head. I can get another house.
