A: My nephew is 15.
B: These guys are just looking for fresh fish.
C: For a **** war? Hell no, and this is also being done without consultation of the parents.
I fail to see why you're such a big supporter of the military at the moment and why we should give the government more personnel for a useless and senseless war to begin with.
The only reason why they go to schools to recruit is because they know kids are stupid and easy to influence. If they can bag their quota, then they're happy. They don't care, otherwise. They just don't care.
I fail to understand your logic. A bunch of 14, 15, and 16-year olds are not fit for the military. They're not even old enough to go (unless our beloved president has lowered the bar for recruitment; funny that they still can't drink or smoke). You found their decision to disallow military recruitment in a school disgusting? Unbelievable. Un-fecking-believable.
Let me tell you something, hot-shot, war is not a game. If you're so damn ready to head off into the breach, then be my guest. I'm not going to stop you. But let me tell you this, when you go and when you see the bodies, when you smell the blood and the rotting flesh, when you feel the heat from an explosion or the cold sensation of wet blood, then you're not going to feel so gung-ho anymore. When you watch your best friend lose his head to a grenade, you'll understand. When you have bullets aimed at YOU, you'll understand.
It's not a goddamn playground, it's a brutal, bloody, and useless flaw man has.
So go. Go on. I'm not going to stop you. I've been before, I know what it's like. The only way you'll ever know what it's like is if you experience it. And you think it's a game, but it's not, and I'll be damned if I'm going to sit here and be lectured by some trigger-happy kid who only thinks about glory, honor, and victory, the same old crap you hear a thousand times in movies. It's not a movie. I don't care if you're supposed to be the hero or if you're the most elite soldier in your outfit. If you're in the wrong place at the wrong time, you're dead. Pure and simple. No respawns, no health bar, no restart option, just death. One life: that's all you get.
