I wanted to make two points with this. One, when you see recuiters at school, the incentives of which they pose to you are often aren’t worth the risk. For instance, in my opinion, when they offer to pay for you school, it my mind the only thing i can think is “yeah, if i make it back alive.” The positions and other things they promise you (as i hear from people who’ve enlisted) you never get. And two, In a time where we’ve been in a stupid war in the Middle East, where we’ve as a society been wasting our time, money, resources and the lives of the people involved i think this war (or most wars for that matter) is pointless. It just proves to me the power of the media and patriotic manipulation. I hate the media’s negative usage to twisted the whole thing to seem like a good idea. War is never a good option, but the media seemed to have a way of making everything seem like we should do it.
