I understand the concept of a volunteer army, but with $45,000 bonuses to attract soldiers are we just getting men and women who fight for money and not for liberty, freedom, etc.
Despite spending nearly $1 billion last year on recruiting bonuses and ads, Army leaders say an even bolder approach is needed to fill wartime ranks.
Under a new proposal, men and women who enlist could pick from a “buffet” of incentives, including up to $45,000 tax-free that they accrue during their career to help buy a home or build a business. Other options would include money for college and to pay off student loans.
$45,000 for an individual! $1,000,000,000 for recruiting bonus costs!
