Army waves magic wand, meets recruitment goals

Sounds like they lowered the recruiting goals.

 

Maybe they included the 160,000 trained Iraqi security forces.

 

The military is so cool. Working on the last big defense project I was on, every time there was a deadline that was going to be missed, the status reports would be yellow for weeks. Then a conference call would happen, deciding that the original deadline was unable to be reached. A new deadline would be set, and the status reports go to green. Un-********ing-believable. Yet they have scores of project managers employed just to sit on these conference calls that everyone knows are coming, and move due dates two months to the right or (in this case) "re-adjust goals".

Good thing they're charged with defending big business rather than mimicing big business.

 

No, but perhaps a few liberals finally decided to accept the truth and don a uniform on behalf of their nation!

 

N'ah. i'm gonna go with the creative accounting theory. But you are free to think what you like.

Seems they finally found a number they could creatively account low enough so as to be impossible to miss.

Any guesses?

 

Of course.

 

Fess up, lefty moonbats.

You LOVE to be cynical...cynicism is the breath of intellectual life to you, isn't it?

If you have a choice between accepting what is said at face value, and assuming the crassest and most venal motives, you will always..and I mean ALWAYS opt for believing and thinking the worst, right?

Tell me, doesn't it wear thin after a while? Isn't getting out of bed in the morning such pure mental torture, knowing that, once again, there will be this piece of news, or that event, that, for the umpteenth time, confirms your worst fears about....about...well, anything and everything?

Man, it's just gotta suck to be you.

 

High school graduation.

 

Dang, should have thought of that. Good call.

 

Don't waste your breath, man. We were having a good thread before he showed up. Just ignore.

 

It would seem natural to plan for it annually. That doesn't mean that they won't mention it in an attempt to hoodwink us.

 

You'd think so, but then you would be thinking.

 

Bush ruined the economy and these poor little bastards can't find jobs cause they cant speak spanish. What else they going to do?

 

Sure, and I'd feel really bad about it right now that you pointed it out if moving the target to find the arrow wasn't a standard ********ing operating procedure that I've seen with my own four eyes like I just posted.

Nah, I probably wouldn't feel bad even then.

 

Summer months are usually the best for recruiters

Or maybe folks just got that higher calling

 

More money too. 40,000 dollars?

 

They've found Jesus?

 

I assume you mean enlistment bonuses ?

 

Yup

After all this time we can finally reveal he lives at Ft Bragg

 

Downtown Fayetteville is just heavenly.
