That Pesky War Just Not Keeping Patriotic American's Away

Somehow the news that once again every branch exceeded its monthly recruitment goals will go unnoticed by the main Stream media and those on the Left.

Oh and before I hear some leftist complaining about how the military failed to meet its goals in 2005, might I remind you the DoD raised its goals that year and had a hard time meeting the higher goal at first. Of course, that is no longer a problem.

Now about that unpopular war meme?

The numbers are:


The Department of Defense announced today its recruiting and retention statistics for the active and reserve components for the month of May


Active Duty Retention. Army, Navy, and Marine Corps continue to enjoy excellent reenlistment rates and are meeting or exceeding goals across the board.

·Reserve Forces Recruiting.
· May Monthly. Five of the six reserve components met or exceeded their accession goals for May 2008. The Army National Guard, which is already at (109 percent) of its year-to-date goal, finished the month at 94 percent of its May goal, reflecting an Army decision to have the National Guard strength at its authorized level.
