All it takes is a simple majority vote from our warmongering congress to bring back the draft. Then they’ll have all our normal, God fearing sons and grandsons to fight, bleed and die in all their Globohomo misadventures.

Looks like they missed a great opportunity to recall a fine military man, Lou Conter. But he just died, at age 102—the last survivor of the Arizona at Pearl Harbor.

You’re right, he was retired and an aviator.

There was probably an F-35 with his name on it if he hadn’t suddenly just died.

This has come around again gives the draft dodgers from the 60’s their kicks I guess...

This is what I posted last time...

“The age limit is 70”

Bummer...still too damn old...

After 9-11 tried to join back up and they said I was to old.

Maybe they will eventually want a very fit 75 year old...

"Post after post today of you not really saying anything much to me, but just wanting to argue."

You said an earlier response of mine to you "was childish." You claimed I "didn't remember the Cold War" according to your standards. Who's the argumentative one here? Somebody tells you to find sources to back your claims that Freepers were providing "nonsense" on this thread, and you find that argumentative? You're delusional.

2. Is there an age limit for retired military members being recalled to active duty?
There is no specific age limit for retired military members being recalled, as it depends on the needs of the military and the specific circumstances.

If they truly needed somebody as bad off as me our country is screwed. Like “last defense of Berlin” screwed. 12 year olds would be serving with me.

“A retiree recall is a “retired Soldier who is ordered to active duty (AD) from the Retired Reserve or the retired list “

Can I get drafted again?

I liked the part that says they’ll suspend your VA disability while you’re back on active duty, but you can reapply for it after they’re done with you. I guess the USA will pin its hopes on one-legged men winning ass-kicking contests.

Unless there is installed a powered dialysis machinee, with attendants, I can only offer my apologies.

I cannot give my support to a military force that wears any colors other than olive drab.

Yet another reason not to join in the first place.

Less for a potential new Red State Army to deal with.

“The Army must solve its recruiting challenges to successfully transform for the future.”

Maybe back off on the whole transform part and that would solve the recruiting part. Also maybe don't become a pimp of big pharma and player in clot shot totalitarianism.

I started with JFK and ended with Reagan. All presidents during this period served honorably.

Yup...they absolutely did! But more recently we have BillyBob (draft dodger),Osama Obama (who surely would have dodged the draft if there was one) and The Big Guy (draft dodger).

Creating a last ditch army like Germanys volksturm toward the end of WW2.
