Funny how we never hear the constant stories about one branch or another not meeting recruiting goals. Nor have I seen any articles complaining about the poor having no choice but to join the military because of the economy. Two or three years ago that was all you heard.

Well, I am still seeing a lot of stories about PTSD, returning vets struggling, and so on —which is legitimate so I’m not complaining— but I take your point. I’m sure some will attribute this to Obama inspiring our nation’s youth...except I don’t remember him encouraging anyone to join the military.
