The US Army exceeded most of its recruiting and retention goals for October, the service said, even as it launched a new television and radio ad campaign dubbed "Army Strong."
The strong recruiting numbers were the latest sign that the army has managed to surmount difficulties of enlisting fresh troops in the middle of an unpopular war.
Well gee, if it's so unpopular why is the Army "exceeding" its recruitment goals? And it's not just the new guy off the street who hasn't seen combat that's eager to enlist.
Re-enlistments in October far surpassed the goals for the active army (30 percent), the reserve (14 percent) and the national guard (43 percent).
Re-enlistments are highest among units fighting in Iraq.
The war is unpopular with the public thanks to the lying left wing media who, just as they did in Vietnam, turned puplic opinion against the war.
