Reply #12: You could not recruit 35,000 additional soldiers now with just financial incentives... [View All]

[Blackhatjack]

The cat is out of the bag. Those in the service are letting it be known how they were treated. Having promises broken regarding length of tours, and denial of healthcare benefits, families treated shabbily, and on constant rotation back to Iraq.

They already raised financial incentives so high that if money were the only factor keeping new recruits from signing up, they have already have signed up.

It will take another draft to add so many new recruits ON TOP OF replacing those who have been killed and injured(over 3400 and 24000 respectively).

And more troops requires more money to maintain them.

This is political posturing by Giuliani, and not grounded in reality.
