That is just crazy. They are commiting suicide with this crap. I won't buy anything from them if it turns out to be true.

"Hey, I gotta go fight and maybe die for our country."
"OK, you're fired"  |

It is against the law to terminate someone because they were called to active duty. It is in the same spirit as firing a woman just because she gets pregnant and has to take time off. If Pep Boys is found to have done this then they will be in quite a bit of trouble with the government not to mention the civil suit from the terminated employees.

Hey, if you're going to war, some major firing is the first thing you should be expecting.
