#1 Of course they missed it. It does not fit The Narrative. Everyone knows the Army is broken and demoralized and the conflict in Iraq is being fought soley by conscripted National Guardsmen. (or should that National Guardspersons? I would hate to be unPC)

SF Chronicle:
"At Camp Victory outside Baghdad, 1,215 troops from the Army, Marines and other services re-enlisted in a mass swearing-in ceremony led by top U.S. war commander Gen. David Petraeus.

Before an immense American flag hung in the rotunda of the palace headquarters of the U.S. military in Iraq, the troops saluted Petraeus, then sang "God Bless America."

Googling the event brings up a handfull of other US news reports.
