The Army did NOT meet its most recent recruiting goals...

It just lowered the goalposts, as USA Today reports.

All this, and a comment by my Army Reserve sister this spring, led me to some other thoughts.

First, do we know the Army isn't also double dipping on deferred recruitments???

You know, some kid signs up in December but doesn't actually start his hitch in May. How do we know this isn't being counted twice?

Second, according to my sister, this shit happens all the time when people request and are granted unit transfers. The old unit keeps them on the books to keep unit strength numbers up.
