All recruitment goals are being met.
Re-enlistment has never been so high.
Lying weakens your arguement considerably.

General 'Cautiously Optimistic' on Army Recruiting Goals
By Gerry J. Gilmore
American Forces Press Service
"WASHINGTON, April 8, 2005 � The Army�s top personnel officer said he�s �cautiously optimistic� on meeting this year�s active-duty recruiting goal, despite reports some parents of potential recruits are uneasy about military service for their children because of the Iraq war.
The Army hasn�t achieved its recruiting goals in recent months, Lt. Gen. Franklin L. Hagenbeck acknowledged to reporters April 7 at a Pentagon roundtable. However, the general asserted, this year�s mission of signing up 80,000 active-duty recruits, is doable. �We�re going to make that (number),� he said.
And, Hagenbeck emphasized, the Army will not �sacrifice quality for quantity� in meeting its recruiting mission.
Currently, about 640,000 active, Guard and Reserve soldiers have been mobilized to support operations in the global war on terrorism, Hagenbeck noted, with about 310,000 of those troops deployed to overseas locales in 120 countries."
