Trump signed a new Executive Order on Friday, declaring a National Emergency. The purpose of the Executive Order is reportedly (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/10/20/air-force-recall-many-1-000-retired-pilots-address-serious-shortage/785344001/) to allow the Air Force to recall 1,000 retired fighter pilots, which we will need for obvious reasons (http://www.popularmechanics.com/military/a11906/this-is-what-air-war-over-korea-would-look-like-15293363/), but the order itself (https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/10/20/presidential-executive-order-amending-executive-order-13223) applies to all branches of the military.

It is voluntary. He also didn't declare a national emergency, he piggybacked on the authority granted after the events of September 11th.

I bet you haven't heard about it from the lamestream media.

Yes he did. "The authorities available for use during a national emergency under sections 688 and 690 of title 10, United States Code, are also invoked..."

The national emergency was already in existence. He didn't declare a new one.
