suggesting the U.S. has a "hollow military" will be sad to learn this
week that the five Army divisions that have units deployed in the
Middle East for the past 12 months have met virtually every
re-enlistment goal. Retention targets for enlisted soldiers -- the
416,000 privates, corporals and sergeants of the Army's 490,000 active
force, are standing firm. The all-volunteer force remains strong
despite the stress of frequent deployments and hazardous duty. "This
tends to rebut armchair critics who said the sky is falling and the
vultures are circling and the Army is gong to lose all its troops,"
said Lt. Col. Franklin Childress. "This is not true. The soldiers get
it."</cite></p>
<p>Yes, I'd say the average American soldier understands why they're in
Iraq. My Marine Lieutenant cousin told me, "It's time for an American
jihad."</p>
