How else are you going to keep up with the numbers needed?
130,000 very strained troops, and a year where soldiers will be getting out, who are already not reelisting, or enlisting as much as army requires.
Bush is really intent on passing off a mess to the nextpresident.
I guess hes hoping that in comparison to what hes passing off, he might not look all that bad.

hey Lillian, why are they tossing 20-50,000 for enlistment bonuses, and lowering the enlistment requirements to meet their goals?
And the numbers you used were out dated numbers hsow on FOX news.
Heck, even West Point can seem to get as many officers to enlist anymore.
But just like the FOXnoise she accepts, shes got it all wrong.

Probably - unless we can get our troops out of Iraq.
Lillian, if the military is not strained then why are they offering $20,000 sign-on bonuses for new recruits, extending the terms of National Guard members, and calling back recently released service members to duty?

They will all have to leave the military to protect there families when Hillary gets in office, cause the government will no longer do it when she is in charge!
PS. And officers aren't enlisted, they are commissioned, and no seat goes unfilled year after year at West Point, one of the most prestigious Military academies on this earth. "NO SEAT"!

Actually our military is doing fine thank you. The military is meeting their recruiting numbers and are actually in most cases exceeding them. So I do not know where you are getting your erroneous information.
I get my numbers from DOD.....so stick that in your pipe lib.
