　　Things have really changed. Not only is the military standing tall again, it is staging a remarkable comeback in the quantity and quality of the recruits(新兵). Recruits, once denounced by antiwar students as “baby killers” and barred from (从……扫除)campuses, are welcomed ever at famous universities. ROTC (美国后备军官训练队) programs that once faltered are flourishing again. The military academies are enjoying a steady increase in applications.

　　Certainly, the depressed economy has increased the allure(诱惑) of the jobs, technical training and generous student loans offered by the military. Students know that if they go in and become, say, nuclear weapons specialists, they can_come_out_and demand a salary of $60,000 a year. Military salaries, while not always competitive with those paid for comparable jobs in the private sector, are more than respectable, especially considering the wide array of benefits that are available: free medical service, room and board, and PX (Post Exchange) privileges. Monthly pay for a recruit is $574; for a sergeant with four years' service it is $906; for a major with ten years' service it is $2,305. The welfare has helped win over the TV generation. Kids are walking down the school hallways chanting ‘Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines' . There is a return to the view that the military is an honorable profession. The days of a judge telling a miscreant to join the Army or go to jail are over. Recruiting for all four services combined is running at 101%of authorized goals. And the retention rate is now so high that the services are refusing some reenlistment applications and reducing annual recruiting target.
