Considering how desperate the recruiters have been to fill in the shortfalls with anybody they can, using any dishonest or unethical means they can (calling in threats to a student in one case earlier), it might be seen as a bit of community backlash against current recruiting methods rather than a lack of support for our military.[/quote]
