Comments on: Backdoor Draft https://whynow.dumka.us/2006/07/30/backdoor-draft/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Tue, 01 Aug 2006 19:54:17 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2006/07/30/backdoor-draft/comment-page-1/#comment-17033 Tue, 01 Aug 2006 19:54:17 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/2006/07/30/backdoor-draft/#comment-17033 Things are getting really testy down here. There was the damage from the hurricane, which spouses weren’t around to deal with and now the 16th Special Ops Wing is being transferred to New Mexico. Get out or get a divorce is a choice being made too often locally.

The other thing they have done is trapped people in units. If you can’t stand someone you work with, you can’t get away from them with a change of station because they are moving units, not people.

They are playing with finance and pay is getting screwed up royally. You are being held in service, but your pay stops at the end of your duty date. It’s madness.

People are breaking, units are breaking, the military is breaking.

“The bottom line,” the group concludes in a letter to Democratic leadership, “is that our Army currently has no ready, strategic reserve.”

I note on your sidebar there are 902 days left before the Shrubbery gets uprooted.

I honestly don’t see how the armed forces can remain more than minimally functional for that long.
