I'm betting the media spins the reenlistment numbers into an unemployment issue, i.e. people are signing back up because they know there's no jobs to be had.

Yep, you can already see the story being written as we speak.  Would be very typical of the MSM.  These guys are gonna fall hard and I can't wait to see it happen.

Unfortunately for them, the data does not support that contention. 5% Unemployment is what Economists define as "Full Employment". We have been at 5% for quite a while now.
