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

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.
