Ted,

No......its the first miss since the last ME war under Bush I. But you knew that, did't you?

No, the last "miss" was exactly when I said it was, under the leadership of William Jefferson Clinton.

In January, the Marines signed up 84 fewer recruits than their target of 3,270, Greismer said. That was the first time they missed a monthly goal since July 1995, which also was the last year the Marines missed their full-year goal.

Hence my hypothesis of the effect on troop morale and enlistment of 2 protracted wars with ongoing casualties seems to equal to the effect on morale of having Clinton for president.
