November 16, 200421 yr http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/04319/411224.stm GREENVILLE, Pa. -- Three years after he was honorably discharged from the Army, Frederick Pistorius was surprised to learn he was a deserter. But there it was, on his doorstep: a letter from Barry W. Kimmons, Deputy Chief, Deserter Information Point Extension Office of the Army Reserve Personnel Command. "On 12 July 2004 you were involuntarily mobilized to active duty in the United States Army," the letter says. "To date you have not reported to your mobilization station as required by your orders." Possibly Pistorius had not responded for two reasons. The Pistorius family had moved from the address in Sharon, Pa., to which the Army had sent its first letter. More saliently, having served honorably in not one but two branches of the U.S. military, with no additional obligation showing on his discharge papers, Pistorius would have had no reason to think he was subject to anything but his civilian job at a local steel plant. Maybe they can backdoor draft tonyi?
November 16, 200421 yr Strange story...but it seems pretty accurate. It certainly backs up evidence of there being a backdoor draft in this country.
November 16, 200421 yr Maybe they can backdoor draft tonyi? My inactive reserve period is over. 615684[/snapback] too bad.
November 16, 200421 yr Its not like this is new to these people, everyone that leaves the armed forces has a period where they can be recalled

November 16, 200421 yr Im sure there are other stipulations that we do not know about, does it suck for that guy yeah, but what I dont understand is that they havent recalled everyone that has a reserve obligation, why call him up, like I said we dont know all the facts

Admin, if you're listening - this clown is out of line. 615859[/snapback] why is it inappropriate?
November 17, 200421 yr Maybe this is what he meant to say, but didn't: Too bad you decided to put the onus of your opinions on the backs of today's youth rather than fighting for them yourselves. After all, you have the hard-on for war.
