Re: Backdoor Draft, Back Again By Christopher Hayes In These Times Thursday 12 January 2006 "The IRR was last called up was during the first Gulf War. But then, soldiers were deployed to backfill Army positions in Germany and other bases rather than deployed directly into the combat theater." This above statement is false. I have done draft and GI rights counseling since the Viet Nam era, and counselors all over the country including me worked with many IRR call-ups to the front lines in the first Gulf War. Very disturbing to see this distortion of historical fact.
