Army Recruitment

Once again, Virginia Postrel writes a thoughtful little piece on the Army not meeting recruiting needs. "It's not a crisis," she says, "but a normal market reaction to better alternative possibilities." No shit, as they say. Raise the mutha fucking pay, and more folks will go.

A nice little thump to doves as well. I somewhat favor a draft for different reasons altogether, but I'd be inclided to defer to the wisdom of folks like Postrel who know way more than me.
