at Steve Gilliard's blog: The Army Erosion - Reliance on IRR and The Back Door Draft
http://www.thenewsblog.net/2007/01/back-door.htmlMore on Brian Freeman:
...Now, I am getting emails from IRR soldiers who were recalled and retrained very fast to be be civil affairs officers and sent to the front. These soldiers have less than 6 months training as civil affairs officers and they are the ones who are actually in the units training Iraqis! Don't think these are "highly trained" soldiers. They are, in fact, newly trained fodder. Here is an excerpt of a letter I received from one of them:
I and about 6 others are Infantry officers, but we're the minority. Apparently the Civil Affairs branch had used up all it's resources and didn't have anyone to send to Iraq for the 06-07 and the 07-08 rotations. Lucky us, we were the first ones in the chute. The training at Bragg was a joke to say the least, and criminally negligent in most respects. Not to mention that none of us cared to do anything with CA.
Unfortunately, now, some of them are dying. They are dying because they have no business being there, they are untrained and the Army is sending them in to be fodder. Here is a story of CPT Freeman who was an Armor officer, recalled, quickly retrained to CA, goes to Iraq and is killed. We know he was an IRR recall because we have access to his army records even though the report says he was an active reservist...
...So, you now see that the military is continuing its Back Door Draft with a vengenance. Publicly they say it is because of the "unique skills" we have in the IRR but as I have proven, many are being reclassed into skills they are untrained for. And, in the end, good men and women are dying.
Once they run out of these soldiers, which will be very soon, they will come after your sons and daughters in a full draft. It is only a matter of time unless you do something to stop it.
