(what you signed up for) and what you are being asked to do become too tenuous to be credible? "She's a Reserve in the ANG and she's been notified to report for 3 weeks of training in Jan to be a truck driver (she's normally in a broadcast unit)" Okay, so, she is a reserve in the national guard--you can not get any further from being an active duty combat troop than that. But you didn't sign up to be a combat troop, you signed up to do something in communications---and are called up--called up mind you not something done out of necessity on the spur of the moment--to drive a truck--which likely means drive a truck in a convoy in a combat zone with the troops taking the highest casualties.
WHo is in breach of contract?
I personally have a real problem with this. Mostly because it is the most egresious violation of a solid tenet of warfare 101--never commit your strategic reserve unless it is the last resort. Now, I will tell you that I was dancing in the streets in 1990 with all the other active duty guys giggling as we watched the reserves, who had been sucking on Uncle Sugar's t!t for twenty years without doing anything, heading to Saudi for Desert Storm---but I was wrong. It was a dangerous precedent and one which we all are paying for now---why all? Because we have allowed the government to subsidise its military aspirations on the back of the private sector while not forcing it to make an honest case for the required troop levels or to build those troop levels (draft) in an equitable means.
but I don't feel strongly about it :)
