System of a Down - he's right...Alexander the Great led his troops - why not Bush? So what if he can't really ride a hore. I heard he urged young people enlist in his speech, though I don't know if that's true. The cold reality of dwindling numbers of recruits: The problem with (an all-volunteer) Army is that there are limited numbers of people who will freely choose to participate in an enterprise in which they may well be shot, blown up, burned to death or suffer some other excruciating fate. No kidding! Although it has been lowering standards, raising bonuses and all but begging on its knees, the Army hasn't reached its recruitment quota in months. There are always plenty of hawks in America. But the hawks want their wars fought with other people's children. nytimes.com
