It appears that the US Army will fall significantly short of its recruiting goals this year.

The service missed its active-duty recruiting goal by 16 percent in June, the worst showing in two years. The shortfall was particularly worrisome to Army leaders because the summer, after students have graduated high school, typically is the best recruiting season.

Remember, that is with the Army relaxing standards, and allowing people with records, and sporting gang tats into the military.

As badly screwed as the military was after Viet Nam, this is going to be far, far worse.
