re: When it comes to recruiters, an Army of Want

It's funny how, with enough false and misleading facts, you can demonize all Army recruiters over a simple incentive program. I myself have received extra pay through this program. I do not lie or coerce any applicant into signing up. I dare you to speak to any of my applicants, their parents, or their friends to see what I am all about. You sit here spewing your hate with lies and false assumptions. Those who are "quality" applicants are considered to be above average, those who do not meet those standards are NOT considered below average. Also, you want to point at one incident, that had nothing to do with incentive pay, and try to link the two. Anywhere you go in this country, you will have a bad egg, no matter the business at hand. I mean, look at you, you got a job, didn't you?

"In 2006, the active Army had 2,899 fewer recruits than in 2005, and the Army Reserve saw 1,362 fewer. So what is it that warrants rewarding here?" I'm curious how you reached those numbers since the Army recruited 80,635 in 2006 compared to 73,373 in 2005 and the USAR recruited 25,378 to 2006 compared to 19,400 in 2005.
