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.....................

I imagine you are right, President Obama has promised to multiply the number of troops in Afghanistan, and I am sure the new recruitswill 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.
