I heard the re-signups from the people who are in Iraq and want to finish what they started is very high. You heard right and it is across the board, not just in Iraq. Army reenlistments year to date are running at 106% of retention mission. Reenlistment rates have long been an indicator of troop morale and confidence in their military leadership.
