Feel a draft?
National Guard struggles with recruitment, Captain Obvious tells the AP.

THE REASONS: Concerns about the war in Iraq and possible long overseas deployment; Pentagon orders that keep some soldiers from leaving active duty and going into the guard; and turnover among recruiters.

THE NEW INCENTIVES: More signing bonuses. Free hunting and fishing licenses. Pink T-shirts for female recruits.

Oh boy! Pink T-shirts! Do they come with a target on the back? Where can I sign up?!
