When my very own dad was 17 he got married and enlisted in the Army Air Corps. I'm not anti-military. Lord knows we need them.
I really just don't like the fact that my son is getting phone calls similar to those that I receive from carpet cleaning and vinyl siding sales people.
I wish that colleges would recruit as aggressively as the military did!
I suspect that a college recruiter would be a whole lot more honest with what they have to offer.
Think about it. It's one thing to promise a kid to come to your school so that he can get a medical degree only to find out that you have to attend their clown college first before proceeding to the medical degree versus the military promising you a stable income and an education, only you have to go to war first and they don't have enough helmets to keep the shrapnel from entering your noggin.
At least with clown college you get make-up and a funny nose. And you don't get your hair blown off your head.
I suppose these recruiters are just another fine example of our tax dollars at work.
If my son wants to join the military, so be it. But if these fuckers think they're going to use my phone with their silly sales tactics - after last night's awakening - they can think again.
