There's no going home.
The US Army, now in the process of doing the "back door draft" to 5,600 soldiers who have already left the military, has announced they're going to call back a similar number next year.

This depends, of course, on whether they can meet their recruiting goals. If they can't, then expect them to call back even more.

Nothing says love like tearing a soldier away from his family to serve their second, third, or fourth tour-of-duty in Iraq or Afghanistan, eh?! It's kinda like Doritos.

At least we aren't bringing back the draft... and drafting people who never even should be considered for any type of public service, let alone the military...

As for my situation, I am looking at seeing my family 2 weeks per year/deployment for the next 4 years... I just wish there was someone else out there to help us out? Maybe the rest of the UN? EU? Someone? No? Damn, I just hope those 5600+ haven't been out to long....
