Sorry, Eric, I can't guess what's in your mind. I have to rely on what
you write. Please read the paragraph that you wrote yourself. You
talked about recruiting; so I assumed we were talking about
likelihood. Or do you mean that when they recruit people they already
have a war schedule defined? Like, "to be sent to the Venezuela war in
2010"?
