#1 I breathlessly await the front-page story in the WaPo on this subject.

#2 Funny, I was just reading an al-Reuters article this morning, gloating about the Army's allegedly vain efforts to get people to come back on AD:

The U.S. Army, fresh off missing its latest annual recruiting goal . . . blah blah blah . . . The Army fell about 7,000 short of its goal of sending 80,000 recruits into basic training in fiscal 2005 . . . About 80 percent of the letters went to people who served in services other than the Army.

Posted complete with this endearing and totally unrelated photo.

#3 It's clear, the only reason the military made its recruiting goals in October was because the economy is so bad no body could get a job any where else. That's why Chimpy McBushitler had Halliburton create the recession we're in.

#5 Halliburton: Recession Creation Division

That's a riot! Does Halliburton have an Inflation Creation Division, too?

#6 ST - as a matter of fact, the Army ended up with 10,000 more personnel in the Regular Army [excluding activated Reserve and National Guard]from its year end strength of 482,000 in Fiscal Year 2004. That is 492,000 at the end of FY 2005. Some short fall there al Reuters.
