Not worth the time of day.
The article states that more than half of the people in the irr when recalled ask for an exception or dismissal of such.
guess this was conveniently skipped over?
Amazes me that people who haven't served a month in the service expect this family whose husband had already served 3 tours in afghanistan and she had served her active duty tour completely as well expect these people to give up their lives even further, for their lazy asses sitting behind a computer screen in a comfy computer chair.....
man oh man....what cajones!
care
Looks like you need to reread the article. {Pagan's husband did not serve three tours in the woman who wrties a blog in Fort Bragg-- it was her husband served three tours and she wrote:
"It's a fairness issue," says Rebekah Sanderlin, 32, who writes a blog for families at Fort Bragg, N.C., and whose husband has done three tours in Afghanistan. "If the Army lets her family come first, then they have to let all of our families come first."
( emphaisis added)
What cajones she has to ask that everyone be treated equally! How dare she! /sarcasm
Why should her husband serve three tours while Pagan knew she could be recalled as evidenced by the article and she thought it was a small risk to take. That is cajones to me. How dare Rebekah Sanderlin expect her husband to come home and get a break and send another over , I mean how dare she!! /sarcasm
MY BAD on the afghanistan mistake...
HOWEVER, more than half recalled ask to be dismissed of it....so what makes you PICK on this woman as if it is something out of the ordinary and disgraceful?
Care
I'm unsure why you think I am picking on her, but you wonder why I think using her children and announcing she was bringing them with her (in the national media no less) to report for duty was okay? She brought the media to the table and turned this into a three ring circus when she announced she was reporting with her 2 toddlers.
She contracted to join the IRR and KNEW she could be recalled but she did not want to fulfill that duty --while others, like those I love are working on more than one tour and Rebekah Sanderlin's husband who is working on his third-- is it okay they go more than once while she does not? Where is the fairness in that?
Is it possible if she and the others (because we are stretched so thin) served their contracted time perhaps our loved ones and others could get a break?
