This weekend, President Bush met with his new defense secretary, Robert Gates, at Camp David. The Iraq war was at the top of the agenda, but Bush has also asked Gates to look into increasing the size of the military. The increase would take years and cost billions of dollars. It would also put a strain on recruiters who, already, face tough challenges in attracting volunteers in war time. Weekend America's Pat Loeb spent some time with marine recruiters in Los Angeles to see what message they're sending this holiday weekend.
