ARMY HAS BEST RECRUITING YEAR SINCE 1997

From the story: At the start of this recruiting year, which began Oct. 1, 2005, many questioned whether the Army would reach 80,000, given the many alternative career options available to young people and the growing unpopularity of the Iraq war. But a package of new financial incentives, new recruiting approaches and a bigger recruiting corps did the trick.

Oh yeah, I know several people who have become wealthy by serving on the front lines. We should all thank God for those willing to accept that challenge.
