Reserves to be made part of the regular Army?

[Raven]

I had another talk with my friend today. He's the one whose son is in the Army and is scheduled to go to Iraq in a few months. My friend tells me that the latest news from the military front (his son, I assume) is that all reserve units are going to be made a part of the regular Services. He tells me that now, tours of duty are open-ended...that service people are losing their homes...as he put it today, this Government is "just plain mean". Nice to be an American there days, isn't it? Just makes you swell with pride. :eyes:

1. Of course they are mean,. they are bastards

every horror story out there among military families is beyond human comprehension..but its happening.. I know for a fact when Michael signed up for the reserves he sure as hell didnt ever consider being active army. He will be pretty pissed if they try and do that

2. Thank you Mari.

I can't verify my friend's story but I'm sure he got it from his son. I thought "mean" was a very mild description for this ghastly bunch.
