How much luck do you think they will have trying to call guys up who have been out for 13 years? The guy was apparently on Individual Inactive Reserve.

Did I fail to mention he was suing and had a very good chance of winning? I would think he would have a good chance of winning.

In any case the military can be and has been bigger without a draft. Tim
