United States Military Pleased Economic Draft Is Working As Planned
unhappycamper note: Since the ‘Pentagon’ (Righthaven LLC?) has ‘requested’ that I only post one paragraph from articles on Army Times, and Airforce Times, I’ve decided to give ya’ll an unhappycamper summary of the article and a link to the OP. To keep in that same (new) tradition, I will also do the same for articles on Navy Times, Marine Corps Times, stripes.com and military.com.To keep in that same (new) tradition, I will also do the same for for articles on Navy Times, Marine Corps Times, stripes.com and military.com.

To read the article in the military's own words, you will need to click the link.

2. I would say demonizing Islam is better for recruiting than the economy.
After all, I wouldn't call Iraqis Wahabbi extremists. The fact that we invaded a secular country that happens to be majority Muslim and then we profess to differentiate between extremists and non-extremists is the height of hypocrisy.
