San Antonio Express-News: Texas Rated No. 1 in Army Recruiting, But 'Quality' Down — "A report released Tuesday by the National Priorities Project found that Texas produced more Army recruits last year than any other state in the nation. ... But the number of 'high-quality' recruits has continued a downward slide nationwide since 2004. Recruits in that group hold a traditional high school diploma and score in the upper half of the Armed Forces Qualification Test."
Is the war to blame? How can the Army turn this trend around?
