By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including sections 121 and 12304 of title 10, United States Code, I hereby determine that it is necessary to augment the active Armed Forces of the United States for the effective conduct of Operation Atlantic Resolve in and around the United States European Command’s area of responsibility. In furtherance of this operation, under the stated authority, I hereby authorize the Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of Homeland Security with respect to the Coast Guard when it is not operating as a service in the Navy, under their respective jurisdictions, to order to active duty any units, and any individual members not assigned to a unit organized to serve as a unit of the Selected Reserve, or any member in the Individual Ready Reserve mobilization category and designated as essential under regulations prescribed by the Secretary concerned, not to exceed 3,000 total members at any one time, of whom not more than 450 may be members of the Individual Ready Reserve, as they deem necessary, and to terminate the service of those units and members ordered to active duty.
This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR.
THE WHITE HOUSE,
July 13, 2023.
Neo Isolationist paleocons who fear venturing beyond the perimeter of the rocks they live under are a blight
GFY, from a Boomer who served 8 years on active duty.
I don’t remember warmongering being a conservative platform.
Afghanistan and Iraq for over 20 years, and it’s still not enough.
That’s not even counting Syria and Libya.
We brought over a decade of civil war and now slavery to Libya.
“America, f yeah!”
Send all politicians in Washington who support this war first.
We’re in 80+ countries you warmongering trash.
Let me guess, you’re old?…
Your point?
I sent two children to war, a son and daughter (yes actual combat for both not some bullshit stateside billet), all 3 of my brothers and myself served and I lost a friend who died when serving in the Army.
I am no isolationist and have enough sense to know when a war is not justified. I know and have experienced the sacrifice war demands, what is your justification?
Mostly, just wise
Oh knock it off. Not everyone who serves serves in combat. Stop denigrating military service members to make your point.
Claiming wisdom but not elucidating. Please do enlighten us as to why our children should die for Ukraine.
Tell us why Mothers and Fathers should sacrifice their children for Biden and Ukraine, let’s hear your words of righteous sacrifice and comfort please.
Wise like Biden?
Here’s some wisdom to read, Skin in the Game by Nassim Taleb
That’s almost all of ‘em, so, Yeah!
N, if you are to dense to see I wrote that to emphasize my family endured real and serious life threatening action when serving, not as a denigration you are not being serious in this discussion.
yes many served with distinction but not all risked it all, that is a hard truth, accept it. There is a difference.
“ Boomers, otherwise known as the locusts.”
Locusts?
Is that you AOC?
Oh and why don’t you tell a Gold Star Mom how your desk time of service was just as much a sacrifice as her Son’s death.
Those who paid the ultimate price or made the real risks deserve an elevated position, All who serve are to be respected but it is obscene to put all on equal footing with those who paid and or took the real risks.
It is not disrespectful to state such.
Send all politicians in Washington who support this war first.
—————
The question what does this mean. Much. This means first and foremost the Draft will be reinstated. The current Draft legislation bill has been sidelined ( they didn’t say for how long).
It is obvious with the current severe enlistment shortages, war is anticipated- Biden’s war cheerleaders are headed for war. The best part? Many, many are planning to NOT attend their war “ party”.
Plan ahead now if your kids are approaching the draft age. I have posted many ways to avoid the draft. Medical exemptions , out of country colleges ( They are accredited and cheap) or securing a “ critical infrastructure “ job., just a few.
Start planning now. It will be a glorious day when one of senile Joe’s war is declared- and NO ONE shows up!
There you go again.
From under yoru rock you can’t see there is more, much more, to the world than the kleptocrat Biden
I know a Gold Star mother (and father).
They have not talked like you.
Should they be accorded an elevated position of honor and respect given their child’s sacrifice? Yes, as should those who engaged in combat.
But the people I know would not denigrate their service of others to emphasize the service of the son or daughter.
Good ‘friggin grief.
“Boomers, otherwise known as the locusts.”
That’s kind of unnecessarily divisive.
Warmongering and vague generalizations. You are a clown.
It doesn’t require referring to some service members serving in “bullshit stateside billets”.
