And unbelievably it's not working.

The last time I heard the word "Fallujah" mentioned on TV:
about 3 days ago.

"It's Fallujah's Fight"-an Iraqi being interviewed
about a video circulating in Baghdad.
The video included NBC's docudrama (w/
Resistance overdubbing)of Pvt
Jessica Lynch showing how and where Lynch
was captured. The Iraqi, no exception, thought it was video
from Fallujah and it was selling like hotcakes.
5:50pmC,Kimberly Dozier, CBS

“Hack (Col. David H. Hackworth (USA Ret.), here’s a snapshot of how little of our 1st Quarter
mission has been achieved,” says an Army recruiter. “Look
at
it from a perspective of a business releasing quarterly
earnings information. To keep unit manning levels up out
in
the field, especially in Iraq, there’s no question our
recruiting mission is in serious trouble.”
 
“These are totals for the 41 USAREC (Recruiting
Command) Battalions, so these stats represent the
USAREC mission accomplishment:
 
Regular Army Volume (all RA
contracts):
 
Mission: 25,322
Achieved: 12,703
(50.17 percent)
 
Army Reserve Volume:
 
Mission: 7,373
Achieved: 3,206
(43.48 percent).”

I wonder if the troops on the ground are questioning
whether their fellow troops are gay now.
About 6000 have been drummed out of the military
between 98 and 03.
