Another Looney in the Bin
In his rebuttal to President Bush’s State of the Union Address on Tuesday, Sen. Jim Webb (D., VA) stated,
“The majority of the nation no longer supports the way this war is being fought; nor does the majority of our military.”
Wouldn’t you say that miltary retention would be a key indicator of whether the majority of the military supports the 3 year old war?
FY06 goal 64,200 actual retention = 67,307
FY05 goal 64,162 actual retention = 69,512
FY04 goal 56,100 actual retention = 60,010
FY03 goal 51,000 actual retention = 54,151
FY02 goal 56,800 actual retention = 58,237
FY01 goal 64,000 actual retention = 64,982
Welcome to the Senate Mr. Webb. See Messrs Kerry, Kennedy and Reid for your next indoctrination meeting.
