   I learned nothing from war – War is not an activity for human beings – war is for criminals…rape, robbery and murder – Roman Podabedov.

   Man has no right to kill his brother – It is no excuse that he does so in uniform – he only adds the infamy of servitude to the crime of murder – Percy Bysshe Shelley.

   If my soldiers were to begin to think – not one of them would remain in the army – Frederick the Great.

   Army Increases Enlistment Bonuses – the Army will try to recruit between 8,600 and 10,400 soldiers per month – well above the numbers achieved last year. To reach those goals, recruiters will be armed with more than catchy slogans and national pride – A new law – It will allow the Army to give larger financial bonuses for enlistments and re-enlistments – doubling the maximum payment to new active duty recruits from $20,000 to $40,000, and from $10,000 to $20,000 for reservists. It also will let older recruits sign on by raising the top age from 35 to 42. And the top re-enlistment bonus for active duty soldiers would increase from $60,000 to $90,000.

   The slumping American economy has proved to be a boon to the Army’s efforts to recruit the 100,000 enlisted soldiers it says it needs – Army recruiters have always offered educational benefits, job security and, training skills – but recently – ‘they’ have been armed with a growing arsenal of financial incentives.
