Updating this story: apparently Mr. Wallace played a hoax on KNTV Television. KNTV admited to KGO radio last night that they had been taken in by a hoax.
I apologize for repeating a hoax story.
Old story below.
KNTV (NBC’s San Francisco Bay Area affiliate) reports that Ted Wallace of Los Gatos just received orders to report for deployment to Iraq.
The 70-year-old Wallace acknowledges that he “probably owes the army two years,” but was surprised at being called up many years after he left the military. He checked the documents with his local recruiting office and they told him they were accurate and authentic. He says he is going to report to duty but hopes they don’t put him on the front line. He also hopes that the army will put off his deployment until after his upcoming knee surgery.
He seemed pretty spry, but I can see the bottom of the barrel much more clearly.
