Chu: Military ought to be first public service choice
At a briefing on FY2008 Recruiting and Retention for the AVF (All Volunteer Force) Military, held at the Pentagon, Dr. David S.C. Chu, Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness says he is confident they [the military] could recruit in higher levels, but they need to persuade the public at large to support a military choice by young people. There are often discussions about encouraging “public service” by young people, but they rarely mention the military, even though three hundred thousand volunteer each year. The military ought to be the first public service choice, one of the most difficult public service choices, and is a great choice for young people. (1:13)
