What is the enlistment rate since the war started?

Does the rate matter? If they don't want to "fight for President Bush and his oil hungry buddies", then nobody would be enlisting.

But, here is a link:

Nick..point of fact buddy. People do not always enlist for patriotic reasons...there are MANY other reasons, some of which are not so nice.

Rich ... your point? I'm not saying they do/did. I am saying that people who enlist today aren't "President Bush's puppets". I guess I am the only one who knows how to read anymore.

The Lancet survery was published a while back, and was for the most part dismissed (because it was "too high"), but the experts (at least the "Great British" as W likes to call them) aren't convinced it's rubbish.
