A Web site run for US military personnel and veterans has seen visitor traffic more than triple since last week's attacks on New York and the Pentagon, with many looking to sign up for the US armed forces and reserves, the site's operators said on Monday.
"Recruiting is very big, both in terms of active duty and with veterans looking for reserve options," said Anne Dwane, vice president of Military Advantage, the San Francisco company that operates Military.com (www.military.com).
The commercial Web site links visitors to armed forces recruiters, provides news and information on veterans benefits and sells military paraphernalia.
Dwane said the Web site was on track to see three or four times its usual visitor traffic of 2 million unique visitors a month.
