Resistance building

Within the armed forces. Does not bode well for continued warring. And good on them.

Only about 60 percent of reservists ordered to report to Fort Jackson have reported so far, Army officials said.

...Most of those who have not reported are seeking exemptions from active duty or delays in reporting, he said.

Those who have not reported or applied for a delay or exemption will be considered deserters if they do not show up within seven days of the date they were told to report for duty, Masters said.

"We are going to go the extra mile to work with people," he said. "But if they don't report, the Army will track them down."

...The Army said 5,600 individual reservists were being recalled to active duty; 4,500 were to report to Fort Jackson.

Remember that old 60's saying? "What if they gave a war and nobody came?"
