Cuba Studies Military Recruitment Out of Concern Over U.S. Attack

[Cannikin]

HAVANA (AP) - Cuba has ordered a study of its military recruitment program, hoping to enlist more young men in the armed forces during a period in which authorities say they are increasingly concerned about a U.S.-led military attack.
A special commission to "study, propose and control (military) recruitment policies and their ties with the nation's education program" will be created under a decree signed July 2 by President Fidel Castro and his brother, Defense Minister Raul Castro.

"In the last years, the politico-military situation has deteriorated considerably, creating a new situation that has elevated international tensions against our country," the text reads.

Although the decree does not single out the United States, Cuban authorities in recent months have repeatedly expressed concern that the United States might attack.
