At first I thought the guy is wrong. Then I read your post and you make a lot of good points. They should let the guy go and live his life. He has already done his time.
What can you say, this is the Military. National Security comes first, you know this when you join.
I just looked at my original enlistment contract, it states that in time of national emergency I may be involuntarily extented.

This is the same thing that happened in WW2. There is plenty of precedent for it. Also, in Korea lots of officers and enlisted men were called back in whether they wanted it or not. If the guy didn't want to fight, he shouldn't have ever signed up. Simple as that.
Look what happend to Col Allen West...
Gods speed and protection...
The greatest weapon any combatant brings to the field is his willingness to fight to the end for the cause no matter how right or wrong it may be; we can ill afford shirkers while we engage in deadly combat with an implacble enemy willing to strap the crudest explosive device to their waists and step boldly into the beyond.

Preparing for the historic criminal trial of a foreign head of state, the government is quietly maneuvering to ease out its self-declared chief prosecutor in the Manuel A.

Former Indonesian first lady Dewi Sukarno was sentenced Friday to 60 days in jail for slashing fellow jet-setter Maria Osmena in the face with a wine glass.(snip)
As part of a plea bargain last month, Sukarno, 52, pleaded guilty to charges of second-degree assault and disorderly conduct, avoiding a high-profile trial and a possible prison term of 16 years. The charges stemmed from an incident at a party in Aspen, Colo., on Jan. 2, 1992, that was attended by Ivana Trump, model Elle MacPherson and billionaire oilman David Koch.
Sukarno's New York attorney, Barry Slotnick, said his client has endured a year of shame and humiliation and is remorseful.

Me?!!! Never :) And I never insinuated that Don Corleone was anything more than a simple fruit salesman. . .
"The New York resident has never received a written, official response to his resignation request..." Then I guess the Army hasn't resigned him and he needs to report.
