When I used to do contract work with NASA that was our running joke with government run programs, you do one of two things, throw more money at it or throw more men at it.
NASA was really good at this and they were rocket scientists, imagine what the military does?
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
fintstone - Do you really think a majority of the recruits are coming from area's that are booming? The recruiters are scouring places like Albany, NY and Detriot where the economy is bleek and the best way out is to enlist with promises of a better life.
MY sis-in-laws ex enlisted, 10 years ago he was living in his car with no real prospect of a good lfe, his mother threw him out of the house when he was 17 because he stood up to his pedophile step dad. He was a trained fire fighter and could not find a job. So he enlisted, now he is career and loving it. Although he is over here in the states now training others to send them over to Iraq. I am not too sure he would be loving it if he was in Iraq.
