WASHINGTON, (AP) -- The Army failed to meet its recruiting goal in
June, raising concern that the unpopular Iraq war and strong economy
could wreak even more havoc on enlistments. Army officials acknowledged Monday that the service missed its
recruiting target for the second month in a row, but would not provide
exact numbers. But two defense officials said the Army fell short of
its 8,400 goal by about 15 percent — which is more than twice the June
shortfall and would mean that roughly 7,000 recruits signed up.
