I'm just a bit baffled by this story - although I'm not that familiar with the US military so I'm wondering if there's something I'm not getting here.
Look... I can understand the guy to an extent. I served in my own country's military for over twenty years, and if I found myself called to service again, I'd be rather annoyed - I'd go, of course, but I can understand why the guy might be upset.
But what's baffling me is why he joined the California Army National Guard. If he felt he'd already done his duty and shouldn't have to go back again, why would he have done that?
Is there some esoteric reason that somebody might have done this?
Benefits? Tax free purchases from the base?
