Army Sees New Turnaround in Recruiting
WASHINGTON (AP) --
The Army says its success in enlisting new soldiers this year, after a
dismal 2005, is innovative salesmanship by a bigger team of recruiters
and financial incentives like bonuses of up to $40,000.
The Pentagon announced Friday that the Army met its recruiting goal
for August, which a senior Army official said makes it virtually
certain that the service will achieve its aim of signing up 80,000 new
soldiers for the full recruiting year, which ends Sept. 30. Last year
the Army fell short for the first time since 1999.

I hope they all die screaming for their mothers like their victims do.
