The "goals" that were "exceeded" were the watered-down goals. Besides, recruiters continue to prowl the schools of middle and lower income areas. Why?

<Locked in a difficult war, the U.S. Army is exceeding its re-enlistment and first-time enlistment goals. >

That is what desperate under-educated poor young job seekers do when they are "locked" into a jobless economy and exiting high school. Anything is better than WalMart or Burger King.
