Peaches - I think you are overestimating the number. (one of us is probably mistaken, I honestly hope things don't get so bad we need to find out)

I spend a lot of time on a military message board. The number of kids that are being turned away because of juvenille felonies, prior hard drug use, broken but healed bones, etc. is amazing and that's just the number of people who are taking the time to post about it on that one board.

I just find it VERY hard to believe that if they got more money into the system and lifted the restrictions they couldn't easily fill up any need for enlisted they need with zero need for a draft. Right now they are being very picky because they can only let a certain number in.

But I could be wrong - it's happened before
