It seems that Bush&Co's foreign policy has had a negative impact on the Army. Despite armytriguy's assertions to the contrary(http://forum.slowtwitch.com/...g=recruiting;#275633), the Army took its worst recruiting hit since it went all volunteer, both in terms of numbers and percentages. Based on a number of factors cited in the attached articles, the future looks dim.
I, for one, believe that we're headed for the draft again. Too bad it won't be in the form of mandatory service.
