That's because it's a heart beet.

Not really a fair comparison since the average MAGA militiaman is larger than the U.S. Army.

Darn, I had tickets to that concert.

The complainant said they were heard talking about how they did not know how to get money from their paycheck out of an ATM.

Might help if they had a stepladder so the kids can reach the keys.

I figure if things get bad enough that they'd want any of us fat, broken old(ish)-timers back, we'll see some new laws on the books making it possible.

If anyone becomes eligible for recall due to this discharge upgrade, it'd be a very small number and even then, there's next to no chance that they'd actually get called up. Can't rule it out entirely because something about a Sith and absolutes (and because I don't care to dig into the statistics) but realistically, it won't happen.

10 U.S.C. § 688 (Retired members: authority to order to active duty; duties)

...a member described in subsection (b) may be ordered to active duty by the Secretary of the military department concerned at any time.

(b) Covered Members.-Except as provided in subsection (d), subsection (a) applies to the following members of the armed forces:

(1) A retired member of the Regular Army, Regular Navy, Regular Air Force, or Regular Marine Corps.

(2) A member of the Retired Reserve who was retired under section 1293, 7311, 7314, 8323, 9311, or 9314 of this title.

(3) A member of the Fleet Reserve or Fleet Marine Corps Reserve.

(4) A retired member of the Space Force.

This section states that retirees of armed forces branches and reservists may be recalled to active duty. The thing about subsection (d) refers to a program where officers could choose to retire early so doesn't really come into play for what we're talking about. It's worth noting that a service member who completes their contract is not necessarily a retiree which is why the recall authority doesn't apply more broadly.

Can't help but hear/read this in the voice of Richard Ayoade (as Maurice Moss in "The IT Crowd") from the fire sketch.

Hey, it's me, that person. I think about that thing you said all the time but won't bring it up because it'd be awkward.

Somebody had to find out whether there really was a Mew under the truck in Red and Blue after all.

Careful Pinocchio, one more lie and she's going to start choking.

Never mind the excavator, I want to hear about this catapult or whatever they're using to launch 400-ton construction vehicles.

That's why instead of drinking milk through my mouth, I ingest it aurally.
