What are the chances of former reservists (enlisted) being called back
for active duty (assuming the qWagmire gets drastically worse)? Is it more or less likely than a full scale "draft" of civilians?

1. I'd be surprised if they did this.
The guard and the reserves are getting pretty pissed about the constant callups. If it continues it is going to endanger their ability to recruit. I dont think this country would accept a draft right now...not over iraq.

3. My reserve commitment ended in 1994.
Now I'm thirty-four, balding and a slight belly. They wouldn't want me back. And I wouldn't go if they did. The Canadian border is just a hop, skip and a jump from here. Well, okay, a two hour drive, but still...

4. Perhaps more to the point is the question
are people still enlisting in the reserves?
