Military Recruiting
WBNG, NY - 3 hours ago
The Army recruiting station here in Vestal says renewed patriotism is sparking people to enlist."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." - Hillary Clinton, 2003Comment

from the article in my archived thread... It was from November 2003The U.S. Army Reserve fell short of its re-enlistment goals this fiscal year, underscoring Pentagon fears that the protracted conflict in Iraq could cause a crippling exodus from the armed services.
The Army Reserve has missed its retention goal by 6.7 percent, the second shortfall since fiscal 1997. It was largely the result of a larger than expected exodus of career reservists, a loss of valuable skills because such staff members are responsible for training junior officers and operating complex weapons systems.To us, it is the BEAST.Comment

Yeah. That would be the one. The list of articles provides a balanced look at the issue, I think. For the most part, I don't think we'll really know the extent until stop-loss is ended.This one?"Beauty is not in the face...Beauty is a light in the heart." - Kahlil Gibran

I haven't read the thread, but I think that everyone who suggests that the draft should be reinstated ought to be drafted.Visit the Vote UK Discussion Forum!Comment

That's not recruitment, that's retainment of the National Guard. Allow more people to join the military and you won't need to use the Guard.Originally posted by Sava

Exactly. The recruitment seems to be doing quite well. Even retaining regular army guys is about average. It is the experienced reservist that is bolting.
Increase the size of the standing army and bring the guard back home."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic.
