Why are Army National Guard recruiters being so successful[*1] in recruiting? Well, maybe in part because it’s not as bad in Iraq as the Old Media wants you to believe:
A driving force in this year’s early success, Guard leaders say, is that thousands of Guard members have now returned from Iraq and are reaching out to friends, old classmates and co-workers — widening the face-to-face contacts that officials say are critical to recruiting. Guard members “are staying with us and want to fill up units with their neighbors and friends,” Blum said in an interview. “Now that they’re back — watch out.”
The Citizen Soldiers are back, and they’re not happy with Old Media.
