"This year [2003] the U.S. military will recruit 330,000 Americans for its active and reserve units. With the suspension of the draft in 1973, after three decades of conscription, America returned to relying on an all-volunteer force. Unlike their Israeli or Greek counterparts, young Americans are not mandated to give two years of their life to the military. Not for now, at least." (NATIONAL CATHOLIC REPORTER) This article identifies the promotional tactics used by the military to attract new soldiers.
