3000 members being activated does come across as a major issue though activating 450 IRR does. Poor bastards probably just got out and thought they were done with that crap.

LOL … yep, I was working in the Reception Battalion at Ft Knox responsible for getting those guys new uniforms, medical stuff, and all their admin stuff. Yes, most were pissed off.
I can't imagine any one of them not being angry, but they knew what they signed up for. I enlisted for a two year hitch, knew that I had a total of 4 (maybe 6, but the other years were inactive reserve status) if things got bad, but only had to do the two active. This was in 1969, so at the tail end of Vietnam (which could have gone either way then). So that makes me a Vietnam era vet, not a veteran of the war itself.
PS I don't see anyone putting this information out, yet, as to our political situation--like the military call-up is to round up these traitors and have tribunals for them. I wish it was, but I don't think so.
