Army meets recruiting goals

This is good news on the military front: The Army recently met its recruiting goals with the best enrollment since 1997. Previous stories I wrote about detailed how the military was forced to accept lower-IQ recruits -- though the average Army member still had an above-average IQ.

Another aspect to this issue is how marketing affects the armed forces. One textbook I read in college detailed how the switch from "Be All You Can Be" to "An Army of One" (often backed by metal band Godsmack's music, which got their lead singer in trouble when he couldn't articulately defend his association with the Army) caused a dramatic increase in enrollment.
