One-third no-show for return duty
Interesting little item in the Atlanta Journal Constitution today.
"The Army is getting a grudging response – or none at all – from hundreds of former soldiers it ordered back into uniform for duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, but none has been declared AWOL. Army officials said that 622 people, about one-third of the 1,765 Individual Ready Reserve members scheduled to report for duty by Sept. 28, failed to show up."
One-third?!?!? Wow.
One thought on “One-third no-show for return duty”
Can you blame them? I don’t. It is just another bloody Viet Nam. And, my son is of draft age. 🙁
What is that quote I just read (blast my memory, or lack thereof)…about change not occurring until soldiers lay down their weapons? I’ll try to find it. But, it is just what we need to stop this damn nonesense.
