Are these Marines involuntary recalls new with the * administration? |
|
A * supporter told me today that it's nothing new and that it was the policy back in the 70's when her husband was in the Marines. Does anyone know? http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060822/ts_nm/arms_usa_troops_dc

I think mainly for instuctors, I believe some pilots have also been recalled for previous conflicts.
