by clshipman September 26, 2006 2:53 AM EDT: Your news report tonight about IRR being re-activated for possible deployment to iraq. IRR is Inactive Ready Reserves. And no one was drafted they all digned up to do a job for their country. Especially officers. I would know because my husband is Active Duty Army and is currently service a yr tour to Irag with his unit from Fort Huachuca. This is our 2nd deployment and from the stand point of a wife and spouse of a Active Duty member, there are many sacrifices that us the families endure with them being deployed. They (the soldier) have a profound sense of leaving their family with the possibility of not returning and the families have the day to day rituals of missing our soldier and knowing that they are protecting our freedom. I am one of many wives that i associate with and I am proud of my soldier. Please check your facts with what the meanings of military jargen are and remember that no one was drafted they signed up on their own free will. Everyone must do as they have to do, and i believe all of our soldiers, no matter the branch of service are all hero's and we need to support them more than triing to bring up the sense of almost shame because they chose to defend their country and ensure our freedoms that we so enjoy and preserve our way of life.
