Message: [QUOTE="SBU72, post: 897723, member: 741"] Could hardly be call a recruiting event when the total number in the military is being cut over the next 5 years. I read that the budget is calling for ~400,000 in the military by 2019 which is down from the ~520,000 in service now. Of course the high command says that is below the minimum needed to fight a major conflict overseas and still have enough for homeland security. This of course is more for discussion else where. Some felt that it was s desevered recoginition of those in service others felt it was an intrusion. [/QUOTE]
