YIKES!

I wish this story would tell us why these particular retired reservists...my guess is they are Civil Affairs types...the overwhelming majority of which are in the Reserve Component and most of which were used up by Afghanistan, and OIF1.
As the Pentagon digs deeper into its pool of civilian soldiers, retired reservists are being notified that they may be reactivated for duty in Iraq.

Some 270 retired reservists have been called up to active duty since the 9-11 attacks, said Julia Collins, a civilian public affairs specialist at the Army Human Resources Command in St. Louis.
