The fact that retention these days is not by volunteerism isn't mentioned. Nor are the facts that bonuses for re-upping can be up to $40,000, people as old as 42 are eligible to enroll, and the ranks of high school drop-outs and people with criminal backgrounds have surged.
Interestingly enough, enlistment numbers of African Americans has dropped by half.
As Mark Twain said, "Facts are stubborn, but statistics are more pliable."
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
