Not sure where to post this. I guess I won't sign up for AARP and write a response to the letter with a big fat marker with lots of obscene words.
Thanks to campaign for liberty for this news.

Wow... that'd be a pretty awful letter to get in the mail.

They must not be recruiting nearly enough for their goals of empire.

It makes you wonder, why they would want to ship all these old snipers, and vets over seas out of the country. Hmm...maybe to thin out the knowledge base here at home?

Perhaps they could instead use some of the Marines running road checks in California?

While not implicitly stated in the article, the video shows that this individual was a Chief Warrant Officer 2. That means that he has some level of technical expertise that the Army currently needs. Warrant officers are typically employed by the Army with job titles like doctor or aviator.

I don't like it any more than anyone else, but it doesn't look like they're in the process of calling up leg infantry or tankers, like myself, from 1991.

The army has or is recalling all commissioned and non commissioned officers up to the age of 65 back to duty! The other branches will follow soon. Didn't you see the posts about this last month?

Something big is on its way and yes, they are going to make damn sure that every one that has that kind of training and abilities are out of here before they make their move...... their big move is coming soon.

The time for passing illegal legislation to lay the ground work for their plans is finished, now is the time for the last piece of the puzzle and they will be getting physical.

I am a former Army officer (Armor) age 48. I have not been recalled, and no one would be more surprised than myself to get such a call.

Haha, 'accelerate your life', die early.

I imagine they are only recalling people with certain technical specialties.

I'm a 45 year old Army Officer on IRR- I wouldn't expect to be recalled, but its always possible.
