Prepare to Selective your Service
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush has authorized the U.S. Marine Corps to recall 2,500 troops to active duty because there are not enough volunteers returning for duty in Afghanistan and Iraq, Marine commanders announced Tuesday.
"Since this is going to be a long war, we thought it was judicious and prudent at this time to be able to use a relatively small portion of those Marines to help us augment our units," Stratton said, according to the AP.
Tours for recalled Marines could last 12 to 18 months, according to Marine officials.

The minute they do it, they're out of office. And they know it. Which is why they've stretched the military so thin, have deployed state national guard overseas, have put in place all those stop-loss orders...
They start a draft, and they're finished for sure.
