The idea is to deploy temporary, reserve troops in the cheapest possible way. If they are on the line long enough, they automagically are reclassified as Active Duty, which sets up a whole different framework for pay, benefits, and all sorta other stuff. And we wouldn't want to treat them fair.
bobwheeler.bsky.social (@bobwheeler.bsky.social) reply parent
You right. As a veteran, it boggles my mind how many of us (veterans, active duty, whatever) support an administration and a party that stabs them in the back over and over and over and over. I fail to understand why.

They want to bend reality to fit their political beliefs, not bend their beliefs to fit reality. Yes, they live in a pre-Aristotelian universe. That's why they think Bobby Brainworm is so wonderful.
bobwheeler.bsky.social (@bobwheeler.bsky.social) reply parent
Not necessarily. They will shuffle troops in and out. As soon as the current troops get close to the date when they have to be declared Active Duty and paid base plus benefits, they will be rotated out and some fresh flesh will replace them.
