Bush bribes old,stupid,criminal recurits
"The Army also has put about one-third more recruiters on the street, and Congress approved new financial incentives for enlistees, including signing bonuses for some slots of as much as $40,000. The Army also began allowing people as old as 42 to enter the service; the maximum age previously was 35.
The Army also has accepted a larger number of recruits whose score on a standardized aptitude test is at the lower end of the acceptable range, and it has granted waivers to permit the enlistment of people with criminal records that otherwise would disqualify them. The Army says it does not grant waivers if there is a pattern of criminal misconduct or for convictions of drug trafficking or any sexually violent crimes."
Doesn't this sound just like the organization that YOU would want to represent your country, or have your kids involved with?

Keep up the good work! This is pathetic and all your facts are from news stories that I have either read or seen during broadcast news. The truth hurts but the myopic "stay at home" jingoistic flag wavers will never admit it.

The United States of America has an all voluntary military.,I have three children in the Army and I am happy that the "organization" allows them to fight for our freedom.

The Army has attracted those people who are naive.They are sheltered.The only exposure they have had outside their enviroment was whatever happened in the old and new testament.
