News Total Recall
Don’t call it a draft—it’s an “involuntary troop recall.”
The U.S. Marine Corps will start ordering what could be thousands of inactive service members to return to duty in the coming months to counter a steady decline in the number of such troops who volunteer, the service said on Tuesday…. President George W. Bush authorized the Marine Corps to issue involuntary recall orders to members of the Individual Ready Reserve, part of the non-active force. It will be the Marine Corps’ first involuntary recall since the invasion of Iraq in 2003.The authorization limits the number of Marines who can be activated involuntarily to no more 2,500 at any one time, out of a pool of about 35,000, Stratton said. The length of each activated service member’s duty is capped at 24 months but will likely last 12 to 18 months.
And, yes, I realize that this is all my fault.
We all know Bush's military service was a joke, bought and paid for by the Bush family, and we know he skipped out on every single training... but still... the idiot has a Master from an Ivy League school...
