Citizens Flood Recruiting Offices to Fight for France
RUSH: Apparently there are record numbers of young people in France signing up to join the military. I just got a glimpse of a story shortly ago, and I haven't had a chance to track it down, and I didn't print it out so it's not right in front of me. It would be interesting if that's true that there is a record number, maybe not a record, but just an overwhelming number of young people showing up at registration offices seeking to join the French military to fight these people.

RUSH: It's a Reuters story. "France Sees a Surge in Army Recruitment Inquiries After Attacks," and from the article, "Requests for information about joining the French army have surged following the Nov. 13 attacks in Paris, military officials said on Friday. Colonel Herve Chene, head of Air Force recruitment, said the numbers visiting his unit's hiring centers had tripled," since the attack. He said all the armed forces are seeing increased numbers of requests about registration and so forth. Pretty much what happened here after 9/11.
