It must be built into the contract that the military, under certain circumstances, has the right to automatically extend the duty of service people. I don't know if it is a contractual obligation, may have more to do with a Congressional edict, but when Harry S. Truman suggested I was to valuable, and extended my enlistment for a year, along with several hundred thousand others, I just said....nothing. Common practice in every war I can remember, and that is a few. During the Berlin Airlift thousands of Reserve pilots and navigators were recalled to duty, and many stayed in service after, and then became involved in the Korean War. Incidentally, officers are permanently in the Reserve, even after leaving the service. KM
