Salon.com - War Room: "Month after month, as the Army missed its recruiting targets this year, Pentagon officials expressed confidence that the Army would get a summer surge of recruits and meet its goal of signing up 80,000 new soldiers by the time the fiscal year ended.

It didn't happen.

While the final numbers aren't in yet, the Associated Press says that the year ending today will be the worst for Army recruiting in more than 25 years."
