Mmm... Strategy Page: January 22, 2005: The U.S. Marine Corps has experienced a large increase in first term marines reenlisting. In the first three months of fiscal 2005, they have reenlisted over 75 percent of the first term marines they wanted to get for this fiscal year (which ends at the end of September.) Moreover, they are getting more of the higher quality marines (high school graduates, those in the best physical condition and those who score highest on aptitude tests). These marines know there’s a war on, and they believe they are making a difference. The war on terror is not being fought with a total mobilization of the nations manpower for combat duty, but with volunteers. So far, those who are closest to the fighting, are the most eager to do what has to be done to win.
