Will Rumsfeld's "secret" plan to "draw down Iraq" aid recruitment?
I'm worried that recruiters will use the "leak" of the supposedly secret Pentagon plan to cut troops from Iraq (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8770418/site/newsweek/) to lull potential enlistees into thinking that they won't see combat. The PNAC objective is endless war so, even if troops are removed from Iraq, they will eventually be re-deployed in some other war. I hope the anti-recruiting groups don't let down their guard.

:scared:

2. Maybe so, but, if recruiters use it, kids will enlist and that scares me.

4. and that's another perk for the administration.
They have placed all the biggest liars in the highest positions. Rummy, Condi, and now Bolton.

5. Exactly, and you know that no recruiter would admit it...
...even if he realized it, himself.
