c. In the event of war, my enlistment in the Armed Forces continues until six (6) months after the war ends, unless my enlistment is ended sooner by the President of the United States.

This is the part I would attack if I were involuntarily extended.

• Was there a formal declaration of war?
• What does "the war ends" mean?
  • Victory?
  • Truce?
  • No one left to declare war on?
• There was never a surrender or truce in the Korean War, just a cease-fire. Should Korean War vets demand back pay for the forty years they haven't been getting paid?

Second thing is that I have first-hand experience with involuntary extension. Except that mine was technically voluntary: just coerced. I had orders to report to Cleveland. I already had an apartment, my house was packed into a truck, my ex (she wasn't an ex yet) had already quit her job. I went to check out from my old unit and the company commander noticed that I only had 33 months left on my contract. The assignment in Cleveland was supposed to be for 36 months.

The CC told me I'd have to extend for 3 more months to accept the orders. I had no intention of extending. He said, "So you're refusing orders?" No, just not extending. "You have to extend to accept these orders."

Bottom line, he wouldn't sign my paperwork to detach from the unit and report to the new one until I extended. If I hadn't extended, he'd have put it down that I refused orders -- which you can do once in your career -- and they'd have sent me to Okinawa for a year instead. Unaccompanied. (ie: no family) Then at the end of the year I'd have gotten orders to somewhere else, and not been allowed to refuse orders again.
