Would be interesting to see people start refusing to serve here, on moral grounds. They join the military to DEFEND the US, not attack other countries in illegal wars. I really wish we would see hundreds and thousands refuse to go, just as moral Israeli army officers have been refusing to serve in the Occupied Territories. People have to take a personal stand, and pay the price. >> Army Orders Further Involuntary Troop Call-Up Wed Mar 23, 2005 06:13 PM ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Army is ordering more people to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan involuntarily from a seldom-used personnel pool as part of a mobilization that began last summer. They are part of the Army's Individual Ready Reserve, made up of soldiers who have completed their volunteer active-duty service commitment but remain eligible to be called back into uniform for years after returning to civilian life.
