NEW ORLEANS -- Nearly 200 former soldiers who live in Louisiana will be involuntarily recalled to active duty and could be sent to Iraq or Afghanistan, military officials said.
Twenty-five former National Guard soldiers and 171 former Army members in Louisiana will be notified, some as early as Tuesday, that they are to report for active duty within 30 days, said Andrea Wales, spokeswoman for Army's Human Resources Command in St. Louis. -Associated Press.
I've mentioned the involuntary call to service before, but now that it's actually happening, it seems much worse. It's like we're that much closer to a draft.
