Associated Press on Guard Won't Meet Recruiting Goal:
The Army National Guard will fall short of its recruiting goal this year, in part because fewer active duty soldiers are opting to switch to part-time service, the Guard's top general said Thursday.
It will be the first time since 1994 that the Guard has missed its sign-up goal.
Hmm. I wonder if back to back deployments, piss poor planning with regard to an exit strategy in Iraq, being lied to about the reasons for the war, and plans to spread the conflict further into Iran and possibly Syria might have something to do with it.
Or perhaps those men and women choosing to allow their contracts to expire are just plain un-American traitors, unlike those brave souls who support interventionist wars through the use of the twin weapons of a fully loaded mouse and combat ready futon.
Yeah, thats probably it.
