USA Today is reporting on how re-enlistments are up beyond the Army’s targeted numbers, which is good news. The main reason seems to be (as reported in the story) that huge cash bonuses are being handed out, ranging from about a grand to $150,000, with the average bonus at $10,000.
God bless our service people now and always, and may they be delivered home safely to their families and loved ones once their work in Bushco’s scurrilous scheme to annex Iraq unto their empire is completed. However, as far as I’m concerned, this is another example of Bushco’s hubris/arrogance/whatever, assuming that our people are doing this for any other reason except to get the dough, which they’re definitely entitled to (this is particularly the case given the fact that enlistment numbers are down so far to such a huge degree).
By the way, there’s an excellent post at The Daily Kos today called “Right and Wrong” which, as far as I’m concerned, is a good companion piece to what I wrote about “The American Reich” on July 4th.
