Quote:
The Army slightly exceeded its recruiting goal for June, ending a four-month slide. In February, March, April and May, the Army fell some 7,800 recruits short of its goal.
Only the Army has had serious recruiting difficulty. The Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps are ahead of recruiting goals.
Summer typically, is the peak recruiting time, so the Army may reduce its shortfall somewhat before the fiscal year ends Sept. 30. But it is very unlikely to close the gap entirely.

One month doesn't make a trend, and they are only slightly ahead in June.
(edit) I don't even care, and I'd be happy if they made their budgets - I'm only reacting to your breathless (and baseless) enthusiasm.
Oh yeah, and my analogy is fine, if your goal was to give me $100 and get $109 back every month.
