I wouldn't call having to be on active duty "fine print". Serving is the whole point of the reserve, not just some sideline condition. If you want to reap the rewards of the reserve, be prepared to make sacrifices. As much as I am against the war, as is most of the TFP, I find it very unreasonable for her to expect the whole "one weekend a month, two weeks a year" thing. They were training her to be an active participant of the military, whether it be a translator or a ground soldier, and she should be very grateful for being able to remain in the US for the duration of her pregnancy.
