At Least Someone's Hiring

CNN is reporting that Defense Secretary Robert Gates says he's going to expand the U.S. Armed Forces by 20,000 troops.
The goal is to ease the strain of deployment, as many troops have faced repeated lengthy rotations in Afghanistan or Iraq.

Gates said last week the military was considering "whether to provide for a temporary increase in the end-strength of the Army that would ease some of the pressures. And, frankly, I expect to be making a decision on that within the next week.
Sure, 20,000 more troops. Why not?

Hell, the way things are going, we'll need them here.
