#1 The call-up has been quiet, and subtle, and going on for weeks. All over the web, in comments threads, in various other ways, people have been remarking on spouses, friends, family members, or themselves being called up.

Career retired servicemen and women are being called back as well. And now the hospital ship is heading to the Gulf. Think Saddam is marking off days on his calendar with X's? He should be.
