On a roll with the NY Post this day...

An interesting story from an Iraq war veteran.

"Last year, despite a media that overemphasizes the negative aspects of the war and an organized anti-recruitment effort, the Marine Corps exceeded its recruiting goals by 2 percent. The Navy and Air Force met their goals. The Army, which fell short of expectations last year, is exceeding them in Fiscal Year 2006 (which started in October).

Fortunately for the United States, a turncoat blowhard like Murtha won't stop the tens of thousands of good men and women inspired to serve this great nation."

And let us not disremember that the reason the Army fell short was because the bar was raised to a level most felt was far too high, but done so to stimulate recruitment efforts. The Army in fact was quite pleased with the number of recruits in 2005 but the yellowstream media will never tell you that.
