Don't make me laugh! My nephew lives in the Midwest (Missouri). The school he goes to has recruiters come there quite frequently (about once a month). Hell, he's snapped about a dozen photos of them using his cellphone. Nobody ever joins, of course, but those bastards try and trick them into joining (acting friendly, joking with the kids, you get the picture). Really pisses me off. |
There is nothing wrong with military recruiters looking for recruits. What's wrong with acting friendly in the process? The nation needs military personnel. Schools are a good place to look for new recruits (high school and colleges). It's a job nobody is forced into and may provide career opportunities. I fail to see your cynicism. I also remember schools refusing recruiters into schools to offer them opportunities in military employment. I found those schools and their decision disgusting.
