I would say yes, when our young people see our president forwardly stating he will continue a war regardless of the views of the people he is suppose to be representing I'm sure he is hurting much more than military recruitment the republican party is in a slump as well.
I find it sad our young people have to sign up for the military so they can get a college education or health care or even housing. Something to ponder on, have we not fixed health care and college cost so we can insure recruitment into the military? hummm
Regardless these young people go with the belief that our country is good and should be defended.
They are young and may not know all the intricate details of politics. So I believe we should support them with all our hearts but make our government accountable for their bloodshed and demand accountability for them.

Not according to the military recruiters in my part of the world. The army recruiter will talk to people with GEDs rather than a diploma from High School but the rest have signs on the door saying if you only have a GED do not bother coming in. The Navy guy will only talk to people with 24 hrs of college education and the Coast Guard recruiter only talks to people with an AS/AA degree.

Not at all. They recruit roughly 106% of the planned number- so they actually have slightly more volunteers than they need.

Yes. That's why the military relaxed its standards for volunteers. The draft will be among us in 3-5 years. Just wait and see.

Yes, believed to be because of the lacking support for the war. Seems that most Americans are ready to pull out except for President Bush. We compare him to a kid who has found his daddy's gun.

To put it mildly.
If there were a draft and many of those kids were drafted you would have carnage in the streets! And not of Iraq!
