I feel like a chackenhawk everytime I fill up my tank and think of young men dying or being injured and many more falling sick from DU poisoning, just to keep gasoline cheap for me.

"Jack Dingler" wrote On the news they keep saying recruitment is way down. The younger enlistees like National Guardsmen are being reconscripted to keep the numbers up. The active duty forces are easily meeting their recruitment goals. The National Guard, I beleive, will be a few percentage points down. Mostly due to people not going into the Guard from active duty in the same numbers as before. Guys don't want to get out, and then turn right around and go back on active duty. They'd rather just stay active. With your experience in the military and policing, I bet they volunteer you, sometime in the next four years. The fact that you once served could legally make you an unwilling volunteer. All it requires is some changes to legislation. To bring back someone who is truly 'out' is a little more than "some changes in legislation". Generally, when you are discharged, you are in the Individual Ready Reserve for a couple of years. Inactive. No weekend drills, no nothing. After that, your commitment ends. Period. EOS. Could it be done? Sure. But not quite as easily as you make it out to be. The force is structured like a pyramid. Lots of indians, few chiefs. People who retired after 15-20 yrs are chiefs. Senior NCO's and midgrade officers. They need more indians, not more chiefs. A draft would work better to shore up those numbers, rather than bringing back a bunch of old guys. And the administration has repeatedly said "we don't need or want a draft" (Charlie Rangel notwithstanding) About 5(?) years ago, I got a letter from the AF Reserve. They were looking for recently retired (gotten out 5 yrs previous) military to join the Reserve. I briefly considered it, but the pay structure they proposed made it a bad deal. Of all the people I knew who were eligible, no one took them up on it. This was before Bush, before Iraq. You see though that you didn't pick up on my sarcasm. But technically, buying gasoline does support terrorism and war. I feel like a chackenhawk everytime I fill up my tank and think of young men dying or being injured and many more falling sick from DU poisoning, just to keep gasoline cheap for me. I feel sick that we have to colonize other nations so that Bush's friends can be the ones to profit, instead of letting the market work. Who was the president when Halliburton got their first big ($2.2B) no-bid contract for military logistics? (hint: it wasn't Bush-Sr or Jr) Pete |

The wars in the ME and Africa will heat up in 2005, and the troop requirements won't be met by volunteer signups. Jack Dingler |

On the news they keep saying recruitment is way down. The younger enlistees like National Guardsmen are being reconscripted to keep the numbers up. The US Defense Department says otherwise, but if you are not going to take them at their word, it doesn't matter I suppose. With your experience in the military and policing, I bet they volunteer you, sometime in the next four years. The fact that you once served could legally make you an unwilling volunteer. All it requires is some changes to legislation. No, I am way over age for the military. I tried looking into air marshall service after 9/11, and I was told that I was too old for that as well. You see though that you didn't pick up on my sarcasm. Sorry, but I am such a sarcastic ******* myself, I am not used to seeing it in others. So I must have missed it. But technically, buying gasoline does support terrorism and war.

I feel sick that we have to colonize other nations so that Bush's friends can be the ones to profit, instead of letting the market work. Jack Dingler Look at it this way: the billions of Chinese and other third world countries that use bikes to replace the autos they cannot afford and cannot produce, are taking up the slack for you. But if the sweet feelings of liberal guilt is what floats your boat, go for it. Recently a Dallas resident and Vietnam Vet got called up. He's 57, a diabetic and suffering from advanced skin cancer. The military wouldn't take his word or his doctor's word for it. So in a couple of months he has to report to Florida were an army doctor will examine him and determine if he's fit for duty. It seems he has skills currently needed. It made the paper because it's such an extreme case. I don't know how old you are, but you maybe needed for training and administrative purposes. You certainly have the skills they need. Jack Dingler |
