Today's active-duty Army recruiting force is 7,600-strong. Soldiers attend school at Fort Jackson, S.C., for seven weeks before being sent to one of the 38 recruiting battalions across the nation. There they spend their days calling lists of high school seniors and other prospects and visiting schools and malls. At night, they visit the homes of potential recruits to sell them on one of the Army's 150 different jobs and seal the deal with hefty enlistment bonuses: up to $40,000 in cash and as much as $65,000 for college.

But amid talk of a growing rift between continental Europeans on one side and the Anglo-American accord on the other, it seems that only an April Fool would believe there's any chance for tomorrow's meeting to produce a concrete plan to tackle the world's economic woes...
