The Army has a good recruiting year
The Army announced this week that it had its best recruiting year since 1997. No doubt you already know all that because you’ve been exposed to the huge media splash about it. Army Ends Best Recruit Year Since 1997
“The Army is ending its best recruiting year since 1997 and expecting similar success in 2007, despite the weight of grim war news from Iraq, Army Secretary Francis Harvey said Thursday.”
Okay, I don’t have the transcripts of the AP interview but I’m skeptical that the Secretary of the Army would have cited “the weight of grim war news from Iraq” as a backdrop to this news.
