Reservist Returns to Iraq for military duty
"Acree spent a month and a half in Kuwait before moving up to the Iraqi border just in time for the start of the war. He stayed there until mid-May.

When his four years of duty were up in June and he decided against re-enlisting, he moved back to Victoria and instead got a job as a correctional officer at the Goliad County Jail.

A short six months after arriving home, Acree got a call informing him that he was being sent back to Iraq as a reservist.
"

As a counterpart to the never-ending war, we have the never-ending tour of duty (pardon my French!). As this reservist says in the article, he was very surprised to be called back into Iraq. It's this kind of surprise that is going to weaken significantly the supposedly all-volunteer US army.
