Hmmm, wonder if I can get back on active duty now?[/size]
There is no wonder if you can. I was accepted at the age of 38 to go into the Active Reserves upon completion of a physical given to make a little extra $$$. I lost my time-in-rank, but kept my rank. I wouldn't serve under this worthless P-O-S so-called "Commander-in-Chief". If this so called "War on Terror" is so important then drag those 2 little Bush Kiddies
and make
THEM SERVE!These 2 Fart-Tards we have in the White House are 2 of the Biggest ChickenHawk/ CUT AND RUNNERS that couldn't find a clue even if they were locked in a friggin' Clue Closet. Oh sure Mr Dubya went to Irag (5HRS) and stayed within the "Green-Zone". Get his ass out pass the gate inside one of those wonderful Non-Armor Protected Humvee's and take a tour of the wonder things happening with "Democracy" in the air. Yea..that would make a nice "Photo-Op".. Dubya looking like Patton.
BTW GS..see this man?:
This is Col. John Wicks. At 68, John Wicks may look the part of grandfather, but at Fort Bliss, Texas, this man, old enough to collect Medicare, is in training for the part of warrior. And he is doing it at the Pentagon's request. Col. Wicks says, "I wouldn't have felt right saying no."
Two years shy of his 70th birthday, he's one of the oldest soldiers ever to be deployed to Iraq. Coaxed out of retirement to fill a
desperate need.
Col.Wicks, a psychiatrist at North Alabama Regional Hospital in Decatur, volunteered to serve in Iraq last fall and was called up a few months later. In July, the retired National Guard colonel arrived at a base in Bilad, Iraq, where he evaluated soldiers for post-combat stress.
A blood clot in his leg from dehydration forced him to return to Fort Bliss for treatment. And while his family was excited to have him home for the holidays, he had hoped to stay in Iraq until at least January.
