According to Lamar about 1500 applications are coming in daily versus the 500 before the attacks. While the French army is the only branch to release specific numbers so far All branches of its military are seeing increases. A rush to enlist also happened shortly after January's Charlie Hebdo attack, but not to the same extent. In both cases France's President, Francois Hollande said he would freeze military personnel cuts. This phenomenon has happened in the US, too. After the 9 / 11 attacks the US saw a slight increase in enlistments, but only for the month after the attack. In the grand scheme of things, it was a minor bump. And around that time, the GI bill had some major upgrades. So it's hard to say what caused enlistments to increase. One of the biggest rushes to enlist? After the 1941 bombing of Pearl Harbor. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"French Army Applications Triple After Paris Attacks","description":"The French military reports it's seen a surge in applicants after the recent terrorist attacks in Paris.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/BtjgPA19/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-11-22T17:21:17.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/BtjgPA19.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/BtjgPA19/","duration":"PT53S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/BtjgPA19/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
