Gah! The Army lied about call-ups to get recruits!

Check it out at Drum's blog: http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/

"The consequence of the error appears to be a sharp increase in enlistments in Oregon and elsewhere by reservists who feared being assigned a unit without their consent. They face possible deployment to the Middle East."

2. they pull shit like this before ...

a friend of mine was in the Army in the mid-80's and was out when the first Gulf War started and he received almost threatening calls to report for duty or he'll be in big trouble, basically my friend ignored them until one day when they called he told the guy on the phone that they only reason he would go down to the base was to break his jaw ... the calls pretty much stop after that

3. That really pisses me off

Looks like the government is getting desperate.
