A phrase to express my disbelief at them pulling this on you.

Yeah, a lot of people have been shocked by it. I think only myself and one of the guys at the local hobby store really understood it.

Kinda odd actually.

I was on IRR (Inactive Reserve something or another) and got called up.

I was about a 50/50 shot at it, but can't do anything now... orders have been cut.

...Thats fucking ridiculous. Ive never heard of anyone being called back to active duty that wasn't a fucking officer or something.

This happens after the man that wants troops out of Iraq gets elected...what the fuck is going on.

Who knows... who knows.

What I'm going to be on is called a "partial mobilization" which is: (as defined by a website I looked it up on...)

"Partial Mobilization The President has the authority to mobilize no more than 1,000,000 reservists (units and individuals from all services), for 24 months or less, and the resources needed for their support to meet the requirements of war or other national emergency involving an external threat to national security."

You and I have gone over and over this in the last few days.... I still don't know what to say. I think mostly it's because I am keeping myself numb to the idea.
