#1 This is why we will prevail. Despite civilian 4.4% unemployment, low military pay, a chance to get maimed or killed in a hot war and incessant media negativity about the war, we still have red blooded American kids stepping up to the plate.

#2 That's my thinking, too, Graviger Johnson7830. Oh, and the Marines at least have now opened recruitment to those home schooled. I don't know what kind of numbers involved there, but I imagine that group will be clearly divided between rarin' to go and "But guns kill people!" ;-)
