Whenever the military has a shortage in a particular job, they open the job to retirees who may want to come back for awhile to help.

I was an aircraft commander in airlift, and there is no way they would take me back. I had a perfect record and graduated from the US Air Force Academy, but if you are not retired, they will not reinstate you for this recall.

Don't worry, it's not an additional war or escalation.

Man, there are a lot of worry freaks on this website.

Obama did say he would sent US troops into Pakistan, which will start a war, considering the majority of Pakistani's hate America and consider the Taliban and UBL to be heroes.

I would imagine this would have something to do with the extra 10 thousand troupes to Afghanistan.

Nothing to worry about.
