| _______________________________________ [Jan 27,2006 10:12am - the_reverend ""] a bunch of his facts are out-dated.. it's a bit more defensive than I would like to read (straight facts is what I would want), but still a pretty good read.. |
| __________________________________ [Jan 27,2006 10:20am - soloman ""] yeah the article is a little dated. for example, one of the first thing that it talks about is back door draft thing, and that was in response to kerry's claim that a draft was technically already going on, which isn't really something brought up anymore. |

| _______________________________________ [Jan 27,2006 11:12am - the_reverend ""] no, she was in for 7 years... I'm not sure the time, but she didn't see active duty. |
| __________________________________ [Jan 27,2006 12:56pm - soloman ""] could she be pulled into active duty at anytime? |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 27,2006 12:58pm - the_reverend ""] now she can, I forget what it was.. something like 7 or 11 years out and they can't pull you back, but the changed something so now they can. at least for officers. she's 39 and has 2 young kids... |
| _________________________________ [Jan 27,2006 1:07pm - soloman ""] well that just sucks. i hope she doesnt get pulled. i assume she doesnt want to be. |
