Reply #11: It is a 'jobs ' program only in the fact that they have crippled the economy.. [View All]

in order to make the military the only option for employment for young people and now it is impossible to not reenlist due to the lack of jobs as you have noted. Even the college graduates who have tried to duke it out on the outside eventually give in and join the military. I'm not saying decrease the size of the military but bring them home. There is plenty of rebuilding to do here.

It was a good feeling to know that if we lost our jobs we could find another one. Now the young people...hell the middle age people don' t know from one week to the next what the employment picture will be. How can people buy houses and cars and take out school loans when they don't know what the future holds. These are difficult times to say the least!
