Cannon Fodder? Why Would You Think That, Son?


Two factoids broadcast five minutes apart on All Things Considered, June 30:

  1. Number of recruits the U.S. Army plans to enlist this year (which continues to appear unreachable):

    80,000

  2. Number of extra soldiers needing treatment at VA hospitals because of the Iraq war (which has bankrupted the VA):

    80,000


'Nuff said, yes?
