Yeah, and it's spineless individuals like this idiot that screws millions because he's afraid what they might do to his retirement.
His actions are not those of the Military men I served under, they'd have resigned first, then slapped the shit out of the Marxist and accepted the consequences.

The next POTUS can, via EO reinstate their positions to full honor/rank and pay over night.
It's in their contract with the Military. Upon departure, every soldier has a three to six year obligation and can be called to fulfill it with 24 hrs notice.

I'm going off memory, because I think mine stated both, 3 or 6 depending on needed skill/MOS from date of departure.
Basically a draft without having the need of Congress approval.
Yes, Cruz could yank each and everyone back into service.
