They're recalling over 120,000 soldiers who are inactive, heck just in CA alone they're recalling some 7,500 men & women. The reservists are already in Iraq...and a lot of them are due to come back and get out of the reserves. I think they should bring back the draft, and I hope they do. I know this will probably start an "I Hate Meg" thread but I personally don't think that it's fair to recall men & women who have already served their country and put in their time; draft people who haven't. that's my $.02 and you can disagree with it all you want...but I can't stand those people who say they will try to dodge the draft if it came around..I have family in the military and as much as I may disagree with the reasons we are in Iraq the point is we're there and we need soldiers.
