The way I see it the military is a vehicle for future employment and helping pay for college unless you advocate eliminating those benefits.

Like it or not advertizing goes hand in hand with having an all-volunteer military. If you want to eliminate military marketing then you're going to have to find another way to meet manpower requirements, and the only realistic alternative that I see is the draft.

You're missing the point. Once again, if you do not like people using the military as a platform for social mobility, then perhaps the military should stop advertising itself as a platform for social mobility.

In regards to your specific point, you placed words in Skybird's mouth using a false premise. I simply indicated to you that it was a false premise. The message of the video game is that blowing stuff up is fun. The message of the recruiter is that you can make something out of yourself and have a great future through military service. These two messages are clearly not the same thing.
