According to my friend, recruiters are telling inactive reservists that they&#8217;re going to be called up one way or another eventually, so they might as well sign up now and get into non-Iraq-deploying units while they still can. There&#8217;s also a &#8220;warning order&#8221; &#8212; i.e., a heads-up &#8212; from the Army&#8217;s personnel command that talks about the involuntary transfer of inactive reservists to the active reserves, and thus into units that are on deck for the next few Iraq rotations.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>(via <a href=\"http:\/\/atrios.blogspot.com\/2004\/05\/irr.html\" title=\"IRR\">Atrios<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><strong>iTunes:<\/strong> &#8220;I Must Increase My Bust (The Lords Like &#8217;em Large)&#8221; by Lords of Acid from the album <em>I Must Increase My Bust<\/em> (1992, 6:46).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It may not be much longer before the draft is back in action &mdash; inactive Army reservists are getting notified that they&#8217;re next on deck to be called back to service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2042],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2504","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2504","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2504"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2504\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2504"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2504"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2504"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
