Default OT us soldiers re-enlisting at a high rate?

this is not known the comparison is meaningless, and thus, to most people,
pointless as well.


jeez you wonder why i keep repeating myself.

hint: this is what i said in the original post:

the article makes no mention of what the
actual number of troops the 106% represented nor does it provide any numbers
for the rate during other wars/situations so no further comparasson can be
made.

Even the *initial* comparison is meaningless, as you have already admitted,
which leaves one wondering why you keep repeating it.
