Did you know that for the past 8 months in a row the US Army has exceeded recruiting quotas?
Those numbers can go a long ways right now, but think about a war that is being waged on a couple of tiers. Also, just what does exceeding recruiting quotas have to do with anything? If the quota is to recruit 500 per month, and you have recruited 501 so what? Have you exceeded the number? Yes. Is it a significant increase? No. Another thing to consider is that while they may have exceeded the quota, MANY of those won't even make it past basic training, and some of those who do will probably be discharged for some reason.
