Marine Ranks Swell by More Than a Few <br />

The Corps, along with other service branches, are getting plenty of applicants. The war hasn't affected recruiting so far....

As a poolee leaving for boot camp in late august, I'd say I feel the same way as a couple of the recruits mentioned in that article. I joined mainly because I wanted to serve my country. I felt I was no better than any of the Marines and soldiers and other service members overseas. If it comes down to going to Iraq, so be it...it's part of the job. I signed up wanting to kick some ass, and I plan on doing it.
