Old Soldiers Called Back To War - Desperate Cabal Needs More Bodies

WASHINGTON — As many as 7,500 retired and discharged soldiers who are not members of the National Guard or Reserve will be involuntarily recalled to active duty for possible service in Iraq or Afghanistan, Army sources told FOX News Tuesday.

It will be the first time the Army has relied on the Individual Ready Reserve, as this category of reservists is known, in substantial numbers since the 1991 Gulf War.

But the projected number called upon may be whittled down after the physical abilities and other factors and capabilities of these reservists are considered.

This plan was first approved at the highest levels in Washington in January, but officials have been holding off implementing it for a variety of reasons.
