The Virginia survey of state hospitals promotes allowing all eligible residents, including patients not adjudicated by a court, to vote in November.

James J Kilpatrick notes a Brookings Institution view that the all-volunteer army is improving. Consultants Binkin and Johnston say recruitment shortfalls are not critical, quality remains solid, and long term accession goals seem achievable. They see rising non-white enlistments, but warn about electronics talent, reserves, and medical staffing. They propose civilianization and greater female service to reduce reliance on young male volunteers.
