Being called back to active duty hard for some reservists DeniedIt was the only word Drew Sleezer really heard when he got the phone call recently.
Sleezer, 22, who already had served two combat tours in Afghanistan, pleaded with the Army to allow him to continue with his college education rather than return to duty.
Instead, he has been ordered to ship out for Iraq on June 3. He got the news last week.
"Nobody had any gas left in their tank," he said. "We didn't care about the mission anymore. It was like, 'Just send the people here to replace us.' "
He received an honorable discharge in September 2005. He assured himself and his parents that there was only a 5 percent chance he'd be called back.
