I would dare say if a BHO or any other dem gets in, the numbers will change dramatically downward because of the cuts in the military infrastructure. If you value your freedom, beware BHO or any other dem. Remember Carter? Remember Slick?

That makes sense as bad economy for many equals cannon fodder for the goverment.
Its like the GOP has a vested interest in poverty .
The DOD wasnt meeting its recruitment quota than boom the economy goes South now they are enjoyning the cannon fodder that a bad economy produces.
Bad economy? When? Where? And it's not the GOP but the DNC that panders to "poverty", i.e., welfare, entitlements. The DoD was meeting its quota, and still is. Sorry.
As a 27 yr old.....i would have an easy time believing a bed time story read to me than believing any kind of statement, memo, story or whatsoever report from the DoD

Do you even realize how offensive that statement is to servicemen and women? You're insinuating that the military is populated by trash and trash comes pouring in when you ship their factory jobs overseas, right? Up yours, then. The idea that young men and women want to join the military and do so for reasons other than college tuition assistance is not anything new. Young men join the military, and have always joined the military, for adventure, to see how tough they are, and, frankly, to kill people. I know it's difficult for a lot of people (like you, for instance) to understand that desire for espirit-de-corps and camaraderie, the need to chest-beat and the actual desire to fight, but it's real and there is a lot of it. The P.O.G. jobs are the ones the Army has trouble filling. Direct fire combat arms stay stocked.

I can believe you. You're young, inexperienced, still wet behind the ears. The Three Bears would probably work better for you, less intense.
