I am not sure it does this. I did a bit of a search but can't locate it.

This Executive Order that @potus issued today seems aimed at making it easier to call up certain retired military. Question is why?

1. That is an ominous sign and signals to me he intends to attack either NK or Iran or both

I wonder if it only affects retired or if it is anyone who was honorably discharged. I may need to amp up my workout program faster than I thought

[riversedge]

2. I did not know you were in the service. Thank you and lets hope their ARE a few

adults left to held trump back.

3. I left a long time ago. But historically people from Trumps part of the ideological make up

don't seem to mind throwing over and underaged folks into the front.

15. Haven't you developed some spurs by now??

meant as a joke.

[stevenleser]

16. I'm sure those kinds of loopholes are the next things to go

After all, if you are going to shanghai old folks for war, you are going to have to waive a lot of issues like that.

5. steven, my first thought (and it has been for months now) is that said sign/signal

is to pull off an attack right here in the USA. Namely, on me, you, and few million other citizens.

I have bad trumputinoligarchblackwatermobsteritis, so forgive my fever dream, and may it remain just that

Arrgghh

7. I've thought about that myself.

4. What are section 688 and 690 of Title 10?

14. I defines who will be called up

per this EO

6. Maybe they are anticipating...

a reluctance to sign up to serve THIS America and THIS administration in light of what they say about "this is why he signed up" to widows.

8. He wants a war.

Putin wants a war I should say.

I will 64 soon.

Ex-army here

I think Putin wants to destroy our military.

A draft cannot be far behind.

9. For a period of time after discharge or retirement, can be recalled to active duty.

I think the period is something like two to six years.

The rules are standard, but if the rules are being changed to make it easier to recall to active duty, something is up and not in a good way.

10. The backdoor draft

is making an encore appearance.

[Demtexan]

12. Need warm bodies to get killed in some endless war.

More Goldstar Mothers to insult.

[Generic Brad]

11. Maybe he wants General Flynn back in service

It would be a way to bribe him so he doesn't spill the beans to Mueller.

[Solly Mack]

13. 688/690 does concern recalling retirees to active duty.

17. In a John Ringo SF series, they call up retired military

and rejuvenate them. Earth is used as source of cannon fodder in alien war.

18. Appropriate RW author posits this

The book in the series in which he writes about the called up Nazi officers is pretty horrific.

In several of his SF series, Ringo has great praise for Nathan B Forrest. I learned later that Forrest started the KKK.

19. My Trump loving brothers

are really going to love being called up. Morons.
