The astonishing thing about this story
Irish Pennants

is not the facts, but that Reuters reported them:

WASHINGTON, Nov 10 (Reuters) - The U.S. Army, in its first recruiting month since missing its fiscal 2005 goal, topped its target for October, and the Army National Guard beat its goal for the first time in 13 months, officials said on Thursday.

The Army sent 4,925 recruits into boot camp in October, beating the goal of 4,700 by 5 percent, the Pentagon said. That means the Army has achieved five consecutive monthly recruiting goals dating back to June after a difficult spring.Army Recruiting Command spokesman Douglas Smith said the recent positive trend may be attributable to steps taken by the Army to add recruiters and increase enlistment incentives.
