actually i guess it depends on who you listen to. in discussion with my aunt (salute to her) she's confided to me that they've had challenges in recruiting and the retention rates were expected to drop. it sucks for them because they're concerned about pay cuts and lower compensation for imminent danger and family separation allowances proposed by the bush admin.
lol @ repbulicans still blaming clinton for all of their shortfallings. i'm pretty sure bush started with a large surplus and has spent it all off or tax cut it all to hel!. he can't own up to his 'miscalculations' on the iraq war and flip flops himself when thinking about whether the war on terrorism can be won. so he blames it on our intelligence agencies or clinton.
again it really makes no sense to attack kerry's war record especially when bush seemingly had a lot of help avoiding combat himself. but of course bush served in the reserves as a pilot so that equals it all out...BS!
personally i can't put up with "FOUR MORE YEARS" of double talk, miscalculations, less than optimal run gov, and badly planned and unnecessary wars.
this election atmosphere is really making me HATE politics and politicians. they're all slimy s cumbags as far as i'm concerned.
