Typical Bushworld, if you fall short, move the goalpost.

"The recruiting statistics appear to bear that out. Officials said Wednesday that although the Army will not release its numbers until Friday, it fell about 25 percent short of its target of signing up 6,700 recruits in May. The gap would have been even wider but for the fact that the target was lowered by 1,350."

1. I'll be happy to enlist.

I need about 4 weeks.

But no job and prospects looking dim, it's an easy death.

Wait. We're a culture of life. Therefore it's an easy life. :crazy:

2. It was really about a 35% shortfall...

if the goalposts weren't moved.

3. No one signs up so the Army lowers the target rate.....

Great,genius move so Hannity,Rush and Leslie Blitzer can report that young men are signing up and the numbers are being met each month.
