It is the economy, I believe.  Boys who aren't headed to college and want to 
get away from home.  That is why I went out of my way to offer my nephew an 
alternative.  He is big and strong, but not hard.  I guess they will make him 
hard.....................

 will top the  list. I have  a nephew in Navy basic training and 5 of my boy 
scouts (I am  a scout  leader) have enlisted this year and will probably go 
as well. 2 usmc, 2  air force, and 1 army. I worry for them all and am amazed 
at the success the  military is having in recruiting during war time. I 
cautioned each of these  boys,  none are from military families. They went in 
aware of the possiblity of  combat.
