Recruitment, End War and Build a Better World published by Seven Stories Press, August 2007.

Top military recruitment facts
1. Recruiters lie. According the New York Times, nearly one of five United States Army
recruiters was under investigation in 2004 for offenses varying from “threats and coercion to
false promises that applicants would not be sent to Iraq.” One veteran recruiter told a reporter for
the Albany Times Union, “I’ve been recruiting for years, and I don’t know one recruiter who
wasn’t dishonest about it. I did it myself.”
2. The military contract guarantees nothing. The Department of Defense’s own enlistment/reenlistment document states, “Laws and regulations that govern military personnel may change
without notice to me. Such changes may affect my status, pay allowances, benefits and
responsibilities as a member of the Armed Forces REGARDLESS of the provisions of this
enlistment/re-enlistment document” (DD Form4/1, 1998, Sec.9.5b).
3. Advertised signing bonuses are bogus. Bonuses are often thought of as gifts, but they’re not.
They’re like loans: If an enlistee leaves the military before his or her agreed term of service, he

or she will be forced to repay the bonus. Besides, Army data shows that the top bonus of $20,000
was given to only 6 percent of the 47,7272 enlistees who signed up for active duty.
4. The military won’t make you financially secure. Military members are no strangers to
financial strain: 48 percent report having financial difficulty, approximately 33 percent of
homeless men in the United States are veterans, and nearly 200,000 veterans are homeless on
any given night.
5. Money for college ($71,424 in the bank?). If you expect the military to pay for college, better
read the fine print. Among recruits who sign up for the Montgomery GI Bill, 65 percent receive
no money for college, and only 15 percent ever receive a college degree. The maximum
Montgomery GI Bill benefit is $37,224, and even this 37K is hard to get: To join, you must first
put in a nonrefundable $1,200 deposit that has to be paid to the military during the first year of
service. To receive the $37K, you must also be an active-duty member who has completed at
least a three-year service agreement and is attending a four-year college full time. Benefits are
significantly lower if you are going to school part-time or attending a two-year college. If you
receive a less than honorable discharge (as one in four do), leave the military early (as one in
three do), or later decide not to go to college, the military will keep your deposit and give you
nothing. Note: The $71,424 advertised by the Army and $86,000 by the Navy includes benefits
from the Amy or Navy College Fund, respectively. Fewer than 10 percent of all recruits earn
money from the Army College Fund, which is specifically designed to lure recruits into hard-tofill positions.
6. Job training. Vice President Dick Cheney once said, “The military is not a social welfare
agency; it’s not a jobs program.” If you enlist, the military does not have to place you in your
chosen career field or give you the specific training requested. Even if enlistees do receive
training, it is often to develop skills that will not transfer to the civilian job market. (There aren’t
many jobs for M240 machine-gunners stateside.)
7. War, combat, and your contract. First off, if it’s your first time enlisting, you’re signing up for
eight years. On top of that, the military can, without your consent, extend active-duty obligations
during times of conflict, “national emergency,” or when directed by the president. This means
that even if an enlistee has two weeks left on his/ her contract (yes, even Guard/Reserve) or has
already served in combat, she/he can still be sent to war. More than a dozen U.S. soldiers have
challenged “stop-loss” measures like these in court so far, but people continue to be shipped off
involuntarily. The military has called thousands up from Inactive Ready Reserve — soldiers who
have served, some for as long as a decade, and been discharged. The numbers: twice as many
troops are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan per year as during the Vietnam War. One-third of the
troops who have gone to Iraq have gone more than once. The highest rate of first- time
deployments belongs to the Marine Corps Reserve: almost 90 percent have fought.
Counterrecruitment for a better world
Ready to create a truly grassroots, people powered movement? Anti-war activism is changing.
The familiar sights and sounds of large protests are giving way to quieter, but far more
resonating, one-on-one work in classrooms, career centers, and communities. Whenever you hear

people decry the lack of large-scale protest in the United States, even as the latest polls show
more than 60 percent of people are opposed to the current war in Iraq, remember that the model
for effectively challenging war is taking a different shape.
People from all walks of life are finding inspiration and success in working locally to educate
students and mobilize against military recruitment where it happens. We can see
counterrecruitment asserting itself as a viable movement as independently organized actions in
Seattle, Austin and Los Angeles contribute to a national context in which public schools around
the country limit military recruiter access, a huge success by any measure. Schools and
communities are now considering deeper questions about the increasing militarization of our
culture and recognizing the need for schools to teach and weave peace into the minds and
aspirations of our children. We believe that 100,000 marching one day every six months is not as
effective as 1,000 people talking to students every day.
In January 2006 the National Security Advisory Group, which includes former Secretary of
Defense William Perry and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, issued a report entitled
“The U.S. Military: Under Strain and at Risk.” The report predicted a major recruiting crisis,
pointing out that fewer than needed recruits, as well as first-time enlistees, could result in a
“hollowing” and imbalance in the Army.
The fact is, at the end of 2005, the active Army fell 6,627 recruits short of its annual goal of
80,000. In addition, the Army Reserve fell 16 percent behind its recruiting target for the year, and
the National Guard 20 percent short of its annual goal. Today approximately 9,000 soldiers are
not permitted to leave the service because of “stop-loss” orders, which retain soldiers on active
duty involuntarily after their period of enlistment is complete. Another 2,000 soldiers have been
involuntarily recalled after leaving active Army service.
Despite this compulsory service, the Army Reserve has trouble achieving its target numbers.
After the 2005 recruiting disaster, the military pulled out all stops in an effort to “make quota” in
2006. Army brass replaced the Army Recruiting Command’s top officer in October 2005 with
Stanford-educated Maj. Gen. Thomas Bostick. “A lot of concerns, I think, that the parents and
applicants have are about Iraq and Afghanistan,” Bostick told the Tampa Tribune in October
2006. They also replaced Leo Burnett, their lead public relations agency, who created the “Army
of One” campaign, with McCann-Erickson, who after a $200 million contract and year of
research came up with “Army Strong” as the new recruiting slogan.
In their comprehensive new strategy, the military added 1,200 new recruiters and spent millions
on a public relations blitz that included TV ads, video games, websites, cell phone text messages,
helicopter simulators in the back of 18-wheelers, internet chat rooms, sports and public event
sponsorships, and even ads on the ticket envelopes for Greyhound Bus lines (“This ticket will
take you to where you are going, but the National Guard will take you to where you want to be”).
The Army also increased its relationship with NASCAR, the National Hot Rod Association and
the Professional Bull Riders Association. The plan calls for recruiters to visit schools and malls a
few days before an event, offering free tickets and the chance to meet famous drivers or bull
riders.

In addition, the military dramatically lowered its educational and test standards and other
qualifications. The U.S. Army recruited more than 2,600 soldiers under new, lower-aptitude test
standards in 2006. They allowed neck and hand tattoos, increased the allowable age to 42,
increased the enlistment bonus up to $40,000 and offered $1,000 to soldiers who persuaded
friends to sign up. They have granted an unprecedented number of “moral character” waivers;
around 17 percent of the first-time recruits, or about 13,600, were accepted under waivers for
various medical, moral or criminal problems, including misdemeanor arrests and drunk driving.
But even that was not enough to “meet quota.”
So, they also lied. From 2004 to 2005 the Govern ment Accounting Office found 6,600
allegations of recruiter crimes. Incidents included concealing medical information that would
disqualify a recruit; making false promises and helping recruits get around test requirements. In
2006 the pressure was even greater, and seen in an ABC television investigation from Nov. 2,
2006, that sent undercover students into ten recruiters’offices in New York and New Jersey.
The program reported that more than half of the recruiters were “stretching the truth or even
worse, lying.” They found “nearly half of the recruiters who talked to our under-cover students
compared everyday risks here at home to being in Iraq.” A Patchogue recruiter was caught
saying. “You have a 10 times greater chance of dying out here on the roads than you do dying in
Iraq.”
It also reported that “some recruiters told our students if they enlisted, there was little chance
they’d go to war. One recruiter told a student his chances of going to war were “slim to none.”
After all this, the military claims to have met its 2005-2006 goals of recruiting 80,000 people to
fill its ranks. It has provided no independent verification of its alleged statistics, but it has
launched a major public relations effort to counter the bleak news from the year before.
The Armed Forces Journal reported in March 2006 that recruiters “face an increasingly reluctant
pool of potential recruits, opposition from anti-war protesters and perennial bureaucratic
inefficiency in the recruitment system.” Scrambling in all of these ways to meet their numbers,
the Army, more than ever before, needs fresh blood — recruits straight out of high school.
Is counterrecruitment just a way to end the war in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Counterrecruitment is not simply a tactic to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is a broadbased, strategic approach to challenging the roots of unending war and militarization. The full
potential of a progressive peace and justice movement will only be realized when there is an
observable link between efforts to stop war and efforts to address inequality in class, race,
ethnicity, immigration status and other socioeconomic factors that determine who ends up being
sacrificed in our government’s wars.
As recent statistics demonstrate, there are limits to how far Bush and the neocons can go with
their plan for global hegemony when the resources for it are running dangerously low.
Fortunately, the peace movement is in a position to further diminish those resources. If we apply
ourselves to countering military recruitment, it is in our power to both limit the government’s

capacity to wage new wars and build a stronger base to challenge the nation’s spending priorities.
Simply put, counterrecruitment is a strategic and effective way to challenge the pro-war, antieducation priorities of our government.
War and empire
As U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler put it in 1933, “There are only two things we
should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any
other reason is simply a racket.”
Racket is one term, empire is another to describe why the U.S. government spends $441 billion a
year on a military of over two and a half million soldiers (2,685,713 with reserves), and why it
has more than 700 military bases spread across 130 countries with another 6,000 bases in the
United States and its “territories.”
Understanding what military recruits are used for in the world, understanding war, and creating
viable alternatives to both are essential if we want to break out of the deadlock of militarism.
Since the collapse of the “other superpower,” the Soviet Union, “empire” has become a common
term among both critics and advocates referring to the unparalleled U.S. system of economic,
political, cultural, and military domination of the world. The New York Times Magazine ran a
2003 cover story titled “The American Empire (Get Used to It.)” describing the United States as
a reluctant but benevolent global empire. While Bush claimed in his 2004 State of the Union
speech, “We have no ambitions of empire,” months later Karl Rove snapped at a New York
Times reporter: “‘We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality.”
Some see the start of American empire in the wake of Second World War or after the collapse of
the Soviet Union in 1989. Others trace it back to the invasion and conquest of numerous
indigenous nations in North America from the 17th century onward, the development of a slave
economy with tentacles reaching into Africa, and the 1848 seizure of Mexico’s northern half,
which is now the Southwest. Another wave of aggression abroad began in the 20th century.
Smedley Butler describes the U.S. military’s role in this emerging empire: “I served in all
commissioned ranks from second lieutenant to major general. And during that period, I spent
most of my time being a high-class muscleman for Big Business, for Wall Street, and for the
Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.”
The modern-day version of “war as a racket” and gangsterism for capitalism can be seen in the
occupation of Iraq. Critics call the U.S. war in Iraq a failure, but behind the scenes, it has
established several permanent U.S. military bases, allowed corporations like Halliburton to make
billions from unfulfilled contracts to reconstruct war-destroyed schools, hospitals, power systems
and infrastructure, and is in the final process of turning control of Iraq’s vast oil resources over to
war profiteers such as Chevron.
The U.S. occupation’s “Provisional Authority” under Paul Bremer also laid the legal groundwork
for much of the Iraqi economy to be privatized and then taken over by U.S.-based corporations.
Thus Butler’s racket and its toll abroad. What does it cost us at home?

The price of two and a half million soldiers, aircraft carriers and military bases across the planet,
and a massive array of weapons of mass destruction is high. It saps resources for healthcare,
education and housing. It also requires keeping the domestic population in check through
propaganda and the corrosion of civil liberties and human rights. Stifling domestic dissent,
criminalizing immigrants, and torturing and illegally imprisoning citizens of other nations have
all been stepped up under the guise of the so-called War on Terror.
In his book The Empire Has No Clothes: U.S. Foreign Policy Exposed, Ivan Eland writes,
“Intervention overseas is not needed for security against other nation-states and only leads to
blowback from the one threat that is difficult to deter — terrorism.
In short, the U.S. empire lessens American prosperity, power, security and moral standing. It also
erodes the founding principles of the American Constitution.” As we write this book (late 2006)
nearly 3,000 U.S. soldiers and over 200 soldiers from other occupying countries have been killed
in Iraq, at least 20,895 U.S. troops have been wounded, and a new Johns Hopkins report puts the
number of violent Iraqi civilian deaths since the 2003 invasion at more than 600,000.
War’s side effects are bleak for the environment and human society; its direct and intended effect
is mass death. Down the current road of imperial dominance and warfare at will, the use of
weapons of mass destruction is nearly inevitable, with apocalyptic consequences.
But there are alternatives to the expense of maintaining a military and the atrocity that is war.
One that has been developed over the last 50 years is called social defense. Brian Martin,
Australian scholar and author of Social Defense: Social Change, describes social defense as
unarmed “community resistance to aggression as an alternative to military defense. It is based on
widespread protest, persuasion, noncooperation and intervention in order to oppose military
aggression or political repression. There have been numerous nonviolent actions, to be sure,
some of them quite spectacular, such as the Czechoslovak resistance to the 1968 Soviet invasion,
the toppling of the Marcos dictatorship in the Philippines in 1986, the Palestinian Intifada from
1987 to 1993 and the collapse of communist regimes in Eastern Europe in 1989.”
Imagine if even a fraction of the resources put into military defense were available for the
general population to organize social defense.
Replacing global empire with domestic democracy and well-being requires redefining
democracy — pursuing ways to shift decision making and power from corporations and
government to “we the people.” It’s not enough just to oppose something.
We need to envision, educate about, and then actually organize alternatives to the system of
empire and war, to corporations, and to the lack of democratic participation in decisions that
shape our lives and communities. What begin as pragmatic actions, like keeping youth from
joining the military, are most effective when they have as their end the transformation of the root
causes of war, undemocratic governance, and injustice. Every immediate action, when
understood and explained as part of a bigger picture, can be another step toward this longer-term
goal of getting to the roots of our problems and building a better world.

Today’s movement
Arlene Inouye, who began her activism during Vietnam, continues her work today in the Los
Angeles Unified School District, where she founded the Coalition Against Militarism in our
Schools (CAMS). Her support of a bright, young student named Sal illustrates how
counterrecruitment works simultaneously to resist war and build alternatives.
Arlene says, “Sal is a bright JROTC student who lacked support for success in school and
beyond. His father was deported to Mexico about two years ago, and he was told by the military
recruiter that if Sal enlisted, his father could come back to the United States. His father begged
him to enlist after high school. Sal later learned that the military was lying and that he couldn’t
help his father come home.”
During the spring of 2006 there were student walkouts and marches supporting immigrant rights
throughout Los Angeles. Arlene explains, “The activism around immigrant rights helped Sal to
see the hypocrisy of fighting in a military that is being sent to the border and has been reported to
shoot down undocumented people who try to cross.
“During a rally, Sal took off his JROTC uniform in front of the press, encouraging other students
to resist war and drop out of JROTC. Unfortunately, most won’t because of concerns about their
grades. This student who is articulate and smart is failing school and lacks the support he needs. I
have mobilized help for him at the school and call him regularly. He just got back from a peace
camp given by our partner organization, and that was a powerful experience for him.”
Creating a supportive community to enable Sal’s dissent, and help him forge an alternative path,
is at the heart of counterrecruitment. As demonstrated by Sal’s example, the best movement is as
much about envisioning and building a new world as it is about resisting the injustices of this
one.

I am not a recruiter but I have served in the Army for 18 years. I used my GI Bill benefits
to pay for my degree and so have other countless other soldiers I know. These benefits are
guaranteed to you and the terms of how the money is payed is straight foward. For you to
sit here and say the majority of people never receive their benefits is false. The only way
you don’t receive the benefits is choosing to not use them or be dischardged under less
than honorable conditions. And by the way, the job you choose when you enlist is the job
you train for. I have not met anyone in the Army who did’t receive the training for the job
they choose (it is in writing). It sounds like this website has its own issues with omitting
facts and stretching the truth.

I served in the Army and paid money into the GI Bill. After discharge I filed to collect
and was denied. I ended up getting enough money from Pell grants, but that was years
ago. Now the Bush Admn. has cut Pell grant funding. What are the kids to do now?
And you’re dead on about the recruiters lying. They are very, very slick. Do not believe a
word they say. They will take you to lunch, buy you a pop and give you candy, no shit.
Then you’re screwed for eight years when you thought it was for three or four. Go to
college instead.

I don’t know when 47,7272 enlistees signed up, but you guys need to check that stuff.
You’re talking about serious life issues. The Army has not had 47K joining for many
years. All services (reserve included) have not had 477K join in a single year ever.
1 in four enlistees getting out with less than honorable is not true. 1 in 3 getting out early
included people getting out to go to college or attend West Point as well as switching to
another service, but is still completely false.
Lastly, there are only seven “lies” recruiters tell. How can that be the top ten. This is the
simply the most poorly prepared webpage I have ever visited. Thank you for your time,
and I’m proud to serve my country to continue giving you the right to whine about it.
P.S. If no one enlists, you will be drafted. You really ought to reconsider your idiocy!

Your site is not telling the truth, you must have done very little work to come up with the
information you put on here, your data is way off.
I believe in peace and I also believe that most in the military do also, I think it is ashame
that you want to bring up your children believing that this world of ours is a safe place,
it’s not I have traveled all over it.
My wife is going to college for nursing and the military is paying 100% tuition and over
$1,850.00 per month for 48 months of college, she has earned this by serving this
country.
If you want to tell lies then keep up the good work if you want to tell the truth then make
sure you research the truth, you owe it to your followers.
We will see if you print this.

Dear SFC Steve – Thank you for your service. My only reason for coming to this web
page is that my 17 yr old is saying he wants to enlist, and I am doing research. Knowing
the dire straits of the current military (without a draft), I suspect all recruiters, because I
know they are desparate.
You are serving your country to maintain our right to whine about it–yes. I ask that you
consider what our President has been doing for the past 8 years. No administration has
ever done as much to destroy our Constitutional rights that this one. Fourth Amendment?
Nearly wiped out. Habeas Corpus? Wiped out for some, and can be single-handedly
wiped out by the President for all–without Congressional approval. Military
Commissions Act, etc. it is all in danger. Personally I want our military men and women

to know that while you are fighting for our “freedom”, the government is doing its best to
take it away.
Thank you and God bless.

Martha, here’s how my dad describes it. One day, you see your neighbor’s house
getting overrun by snakes. They’re everywhere! The porch, the kitchen, the
couch, the bedroom, the water sources, everywhere. You have the means to kill all
the snakes but that’s their problem. So you leave them alone. The next day, your
other neighbor’s house is being overrun with snakes. The first house has turned
into a breading ground and power house for the snakes. Neighbor 1 can’t help and
neighbor 2 doesn’t have the same resources to kill snakes as you do. You know
they’ll be overrun, but hey, not your problem. The next day you wake up to
snakes in your bed. You’re not too worried because you have snake-killing
abilities unlike your neighbors, so you kill them. Unfortunately, after days and
days of waking up to new snakes in your bed, you realize that the snakes are
breading and feeding in your two neighbors’ houses and that you’ll endlessly be
fighting snakes in your own house until you run out of snake-killing product. If
only you would have helped your first neighbor to fix the snake problem from the
start, all this wouldn’t have happened. So how does this relate? The insurgency in
the Middle East is the snakes. We are protecting our freedom by supporting the
Iraqi government in it’s attempts to rid it’s country of insurgency. We are helping
our “neighbors” to secure life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, so that their
land won’t continue to be a breading ground for the insurgency that could
eventually threaten our boarders. No, Iraq didn’t attack us, but we’re not fighting
Iraq. We were in Iraq fighting the insurgency and training the Iraqi army to fend
for themselves. Unfortunately, Obama pulled out troops out way too quickly, and
the Iraqi army was left unprepared for our pullout. Though they’re uniting in the
face of ISIS, ISIS would never had been as bold and forward if we wouldn’t have
left Iraq. That means instead of the 100 or so deaths that would have occurred
during May – June 2014, now 2500 civilians are dead and that number grows
daily. We should be fighting snakes because who knows where the ISIS will go
next.

1st off, there were no insurgents in Iraq to fight before we invaded.
Secondly the “insurgents” aren’t all terrorists. Obama pulled the troops out
too quick? The agreement with Iraq was done by Bush before Obama ever
stepped into office. If an Army who has been trained by the US Military
for ten years compared to the 10 to 17 weeks our troops get, they just
don’t want their freedom. There has been a civil war in the middle east for
over 3,000 years, it certainly won’t end in our life time. Not sure where
you served in Iraq, but when I was there 100’s of civilians were dying
everyday already, it’s called sectarian violence, they hate each other. The
majority of ISIS that are fighting now, are the same people we were

paying millions to not to fight us. Complain all you want, if you honor
your end of the contract, they honor theirs. The least you can do is actually
check your facts, they are not even close, but keep up your scare tactics,
some dumb fools will believe you. ARMY STRONG and DAMN PROUD
of IT!

Most of you are full of you know what…no bonus well lets see he could get a bonus if he
scored high enough on the AQFT and qualified for that job. Goes to the MEPS flunks out
and scores 49 or below no bonus and has to pick a different job and crys foul on the
recruiter, not his fault you cant pass a simple test of intelligence. Also if the only reason
you are joining the Army is to receive a bonus well dont bonus goes away college gets
boring and all you do anyway is complain and try to find ways to cost the taxpayer
money to lie yourself out of the Army…IF YOU SERVE, SERVE BECAUSE YOU ARE
SERVING THE GREATEST NATION ON EARTH AND YOU ARE PROUD!!!!!!OH

“Don’t Enlist, Resist”…..Where do you find these words from the “Cracker Jack Box”.
First, I have been in the United States Army for 22 years. That’s right 22 years since I
was 18 years old after high school. Am I a dumb guy, not really cause I was offered two
scholarships upon graduation of my high that I attended. Sure the recruiters will say some
things, but you also have to do your homework before saying “Sign me up”. Especially
nowadays. Back in my day we didn’t have Google or a computer like most household
families have. I wasn’t a rich kid, so their were a few reasons why I join: 1) Wanted to
travel the world-I did(1st assignment after basic and AIT was Germany), 2) Maturity and
wisdom for the first 3 years(Contract), 3) Education (College). I wasn’t whining about
deploying or going to war. Back than Russia was still kicking. I (Re-enlist) again for a
$20,000 dollar bonus. And yes I receive half after my school and $2,000 dollar for the
next five years. Did I know I was going to the Gulf War after I receive that Big Bonus???
Not at all….Did I complain, not at all. I am a third generation of my family that has serve
or is still serving in the military. You are always going to have Wars, Conflicts or
problems in any country. Deploying happens….And some still haven’t deployed in 25
years…. I have been 7-8 times already.
Bottom line is this:

1) Job Security
2) Education
3) Medical and Dental Benefits
4) Decent Pay
5) Traveling (Germany, France, England, South America, Asia just a few to mention)
6) Meeting new people
7) Maturity/Wisdom
8) Promotions
9) Parties
10) Deploying(Tax Free on your pay, receive more pay, and fighting for a cause)
I know some of you don’t agree on many of my areas that I brought up. Which is find. I
have been in a very long, long time. And yes, I will retire and no I wont have to work at
Wal-Mart as a “Greeter”.

It’s sad that so many Americans spend so much time trying to find reasons not to serve
our country. It disgusts me when I see things like this. So many people turn their noses up
at the thought of them or their kids joining the military. Yet, you want to live in this
country and receive all of the freedoms most of the world doesn’t. You also feel that this
is an entitlement and not a right. What if everyone that does serve felt this way? We
would not have a great all volunteer Army. We as Americans can be so spoiled and selfcentered sometimes. I think it should be mandatory in this country that everyone serve at
least 2 years in the military. You shouldn’t get to sit back on your lazy scary asses and
receive the privileges of this country for free. Cowards. I served 4 years and will be reenlisting when I complete my degree next summer paid for by…….OMG the G.I. Bill!
My husband continues to serve on his 10th year. I’ve been to Iraq once and he’s been
twice. As a former soldier myself I’ve heard so many soldiers who after joining claim…
my recruiter lied to me about this or that. Their claims actually don’t even turn out to be
lies. Things like, “I got this shitty job, he didn’t even offer me the good jobs”. Well, guess
what you have to have a qualifying score to even be considered for those jobs. If you
weren’t offered them, the standards say you probably weren’t capable. Most of them just
get to basic and can’t cut it and say anything including lying on their recruiter to get out. I
don’t care what anyone says, there isn’t another job with more pride, experiences, or

benefits in this country than the military. Whether you’re using it as a stepping stone or as
a career path. If more people enlisted the damn unemployment rate wouldn’t be so high,
and I wouldn’t be paying taxes supporting others. Get off of it.

Are whining about how nobody appreciates you, equating service to the political class
with service to the country, using poor grammar, and calling people who disagree with
you wimps instead of making logical arguments the kind of skills you learn in the
military? Or are they just the only way you can support absurd claims like saying a tool
of imperialism is a good thing?
The US military does not protect freedom. It is part of the United States government, the
institution that does the most harm to the freedom and prosperity of Americans. It is
supported by theft and exploitation called taxation and economic policy. It is a driving
force in the global military empire that bankrupts America and inspires foreigners to
target Americans for murder. And yes, military recruiters often lie.
I support the troops who renounce the war machine in thought and action.

Let’s cut the shit: you will get money from the federal government if you sign a contract
that says you get that money. If you do not get that money, join the lawsuit and plan on
waiting for about five years before you see any of that money (if ever).
If you’re thinking about joining for money, you’re like the vast majority of high school
graduates in that you’re unsure about your future and how you’re going to attain your
goals, and the military seems to offer job experience and adventure. If you want
adventure and to serve your community, become a fire fighter! Become a paramedic! And
with all irony intended: become a job counselor!
When my head drill sergeant asked how many out of my platoon joined for the money,
almost everyone raised their hand and the rest were lying. (If you happen to be a flagwaving kill-‘em-all type, seek professional counseling as soon as possible; you are
psychotic, uninformed, and likely need medication. Alcohol works for most.)

But before you enlist out of high school, consider a few things:
1. Your recruiter has a quota to meet and doesn’t give a flying fuck about you. The entire
goal of the recruiter is to maintain or increase the productivity in his or her area of
responsibility (say, a school district) and unless you happen to be recruited by someone
other than a careerist, the future of his or her career is entirely contingent upon either
happening to find a fat target like a flag-waving kid whose mother didn’t graduate from
college (the Dept of Defense does market research like any other private corporation; the
factors I’ve listed here, along with English proficiency, are a few of the major things that
the DoD thinks makes you a fat target), or to convince you that you need the military to
fulfill your goals.
2. If you do the math, you will be paid less than minimum wage; pay raises for enlisted
soldiers haven’t kept up with inflation for years. This is something that a few of my
friends and I realized when I was in Iraq, so that’s including hazardous duty pay and all
the extra goodies. This is probably true for several ranks beyond that of E-4 (my rank at
the time).
3. There are other ways of getting money for college and the only thing you need to do to
find these resources is talk to your school counselor or, better yet, do the research
yourself. If you’ve kept your grades up, done fairly well on the SAT/ACT, and done a
little bit of community service, for the love of all that is holy GO TO COLLEGE!
4. The skills that you learn in the military are very rarely directly applicable towards the
industry to which you may think it does when your recruiter is sweet talking you. (Some
notable exceptions to this include obtaining some kind of paramedic certification for the
91A/W MOS.) There are entire books written on how to “adapt” military MOS training to
the “civilian side” (like when you’re trying to write a resume in after you ETS in six
years); being a guardsman avoids this issue somewhat but there are other considerations
even if you think this is going to be your path (some listed below).
5. GO TO COLLEGE!
There’s an entirely different set of considerations beyond the most common fiscal ones
I’ve addressed above:
1. You may be put in situations in which your survival instincts are not compatible with
your personal morality or ethical guides (Example: Maintain a checkpoint at which there
is a real possibility that you will accidentally fire on civilians because of the perceived
threat that a speeding vehicle represents; something for which you will not likely be
punished, but will live with for the rest of your life.).
2. You will likely be asked to participate in what has been agreed upon by the vast
majority of international rule of law experts to be an illegal occupation (Iraq, in case
you’re not up on current events.). In fact, this isn’t just likely, it is damned near certain. It
is even more certain that you will in some way materially support the occupation. In other
words, according to international law and the treaties to which the US is bound via the
Constitution, you will be considered a war criminal. Prosecution, however, is less likely;
if you want to be a criminal and actually make money, become an entrepreneur like
TuPac or Al Capone.
3. If you are female, you will be sexually harassed. There is no way of avoiding this fact
(although some cope with it by ignoring it or denying it). The instance of rape among
military personnel is far higher than among the general US population for both men and

women. The numbers are at http://www.stopmilitaryrape.org.
4. The military will put you where they want you, and do with you what they want
because when you sign your enlistment contract you (your body–fingernails, skin, hair,
reproductive organs, etc.) become government property. If you get a sunburn, for
example, you won’t necessarily but can be punished for damaging government property
(just one example).
5. GO TO FUCKING COLLEGE! Or, learn a trade, join a union, and do what my buddy
did and make more money than most 1st-year college graduates can even dream of! The
possibilities for your life are so endless you would–at the very least–be wasting 8 years of
your life by signing such a bullshit contract (every contract is for 8 years, by the way).
And as for the jokers (some have posted above) that think that they can logically
reconcile the fact that they’re soaking up federal funding by being in the military and
therefore supporting the most inefficient and costly US enterprise–the occupations of
Iraq/Afghanistan and their $3 trillion price tag–you are the true enemy of the people that
want this country to be truly free, and I hope one day you can pierce the thick layer of
denial that your lifestyle has developed (an ontological trait allowed by some creative
blaming, might I add) because I know that these few words won’t do anything but enrage
you much like fire enrages zombies. SLOGANEERING IS FOR SOPHOMORIC
OSTRICHES; YOU ARE THE ENEMY!
And if you’re a veteran and think the war is bullshit (and have read this far!) try reading
Gen. Smedley Butler for starters. He’s a kick and funny, too. He was at the trail end of the
anti-imperialist movement that gained momentum when the US went to war with Spain
over the Philippines, etc. Dedicated patriots like him were gradually weeded out, and now
look where we are!

though they had many disagreements, they came together, had deliberate discussions and
debates, and formed this great country we call the United States of America. Yeah so we
may have had some outstanding conflicts with certain groups of people or individuals,
but in the end we come together and grow from it. All i’m trying to say is, leave the high

An Army recruiter stole my 17 yr old son. I would not consider this recruiter a “Soldier” I
feel he is an “Enemy”. He lied to my son with unrealistic promises such as a high paying
job, bonuses, lap tops and so on. He was so slick as he was able to manipulate my son in
to thinking that his own mother was “sick, dumb and stupid”. If the recruiters are in such
a need to make money they should consider encouraging the government to utilize US
jailed criminals to join the Army. If they need killers and persons in need of money they
have both in one shot. Finally, if the Army was so wonderful with so many wonderful
benefits why are the recruiters trying to make money through lying to our children. I hope

you pay it back, so it is not a loan, it is just like every other contract you sign in

Here is a thought, as leaders we cannot control every turd that slips
through the cracks of enlistment. There are some Soldiers out there that do
murder innocent people, steal, rape, do drugs, and so forth. But you cannot
hold every Soldier accountable for those idiot’s behavior. And just like
every society (military is a society) there are these turds. Lets talk about
the thousands of murders that happen each day by wanna be thugs, drunk
drivers, and psychopaths, but we do not hold US Citizens in low regard
because of this. Just a thought.

I completely agree with ArmyWife, i will say not everyone is a fatass but if you
cant take being an army wife you shouldnt have tried in the first place, my
husband is on his 3rd deployment in 6 years and was on medivac so he has ssen
his share of bad things and has a very bad case or PTSD just diagnosed from his
doc. A responsible military man who loves his country and family woulnt hit his
wife even with PTSD. If you really loved your husband you would have gone to
his c.o. to tell him and not sat back and complained (they would ahve made him
go to councelling) If not what was the point of til death do us part. My husband
also says he will go back to a-stan in a heartbeat to help other people. I will admit
there are some bad military people who do bad things but that is rare and they get
in trouble for it. I hate when my husband is gone but I knew what i was getting
into and i wouldnt change it for anything. We have extremely good benifits for the
whole family. Recruiting isnt a fun job from what I hear but they dont get a
choice. They’re serving like every 18 year old boy should and women if they
want. I think they should bring the draft back, its a maturity thing, most people
who go into the military immature leave completely opposite. And the people who
do go in know what they are in for. Were in the middle of a war and its going to
continue even though people are getting caught, and its a statistical fact that there
is a war every 10 years so even when this one ends a new one will start. There
will always be military and war and never peace its just not going to happen so
you can be one of the people fighting to win on our side and help those in need or
you can be a pussy and complain about those doing something either way

complaining is a waste of time and effort so you should just give up. ARMY IS
AWESOME AND I THANK ALL MILITARY MEN FOR THEIR SACRIFICES

I used to be one who fully supported our troops until my brother joined. I now realize
what they have to go through and I cannot understand why any man/woman does it. I
don’t support our men/women going into war and coming back with mental disorders or
worse, dead. War is not the solution to our problems.
The uncle of my cousin’s husband suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and his
son simply flashed a flashlight at him one day and he went nuts on him, beating his own
son up. Then his wife came up to him one day just to touch him, and he threw her to the
floor.
I feel that it’s just not worth it. My brother is only 20 years old, he joined the Marines
right out of high school. A recruiter “befriended” my brother and he always wanted to go
jogging with my brother. I firmly believe that my brother was brainwashed by that man.
My brother’s attitude totally changed after being around this guy, and he felt as though he
couldn’t be a man unless he joined. I firmly believe the recruiter told my brother that. So
no, I don’t support my brother in the decision that he made. My brother was so
intelligent, made honor roll countless times whilst in school, and he threw it all away to
join the Marines. He could have went to college and been the first man out of our entire
family to get a college education. It’s sad, but it happens often here in Tennessee. The
recruiters are always allowed to prey on the impressionable.

Actual Recruiter Says:
August 20, 2010 at 1:40 am | Reply

Well, to begin I’ll say most of your “facts” are wrong. I am an Army recruiter. Does this
make me biased? Nope! Ready to hear why? Because I don’t like being one for the
purpose of putting people in boots. I like being one to help these kids that have no idea
what they are going to do after high school.
I encourage kids to make a plan. Whether that plan is military or not. If any of my hs kids
need help finding grants for college I have sat with them and found them some. For me
it’s not about numbers. I don’t lie or force kids to join. I tell them the pros and cons. My
people are probably the most informed recruits. In fact I have gotten in trouble over not
writing people. does this hurt me? Heck no! Why? Because I know if I talked to the kids
and they either don’t want to join or they want to think about it then I have that moral
capacity to respect them and let them make their decision. Btw I haven’t made my rank
and not had any butt chewings.
I tell everyone I talk to not to trust me. Why would I do this? Because it’s their life, not
mine. I tell them to double check everything I tell them. If they come on a website like
this and ask me the same questions then great. That means they did research. Sad part is
the things written on here are false. I have had three of my soldiers take advantage of the
post 9-11 gi bill. They are happily going to college and say it’s the best program ever.
Btw two of them had went to college and knew what it felt like to struggle.
The kids in my area even like to talk to me before they join any other branch. I will
happily take them to the office and sit with them while the other recruiter talks to them. I
am unbiased in the aspect of the different branches. I will say this and no dissrespect but
the national guard is useless. Not the people the branch. It should be a reserve and funded
by the government. The states deploy them too often for personal gains.
Lastly, if you are in the military and you are bashing these people with foul language and
stupid “I’ll kick your ass” things then shame on you. Act professional. Don’t give them
the benefit. Most of the people that talk bad about the military either couldn’t get in or
were kicked out. This is a great statistic because 10 out of 10 that I talk to about why they
hate it ended up getting kicked out because they did something stupid and got caught. It’s
always, the military screwed me over and I didn’t get my bonus. When I ask how they
say well I didn’t serve my whole time cause I got kicked out for smoking pot. But they
should have let me stay in or keep my money. If you are given a loan and you don’t finish
paying for it should you still be able to keep it? No. Let’s get real.
Sorry, one more thing. Recruiters do not make extra cash for meeting a quota. Last year
they did away with the bonus of putting people in. I laugh when I hear these comments

on how I want them in to make some money. 1. I get my paycheck no matter what. 2. The
bonuses they did give were if you put in 3 people or more in a month. And boy! They
were big cash payments. 100$ for 3 people. I would love to have done paperwork for 3
people and worked my butt off to get an extra 100$. Hmmmm I don’t think so. But that
program is gone. So stop worrying about that one.
Have a great day and I can’t wait to see the next comments. God Bless!

As a recruiter I love reading this stuff. One thing I learned a long time ago was to learn
your “enemy.” I wanted to know what negative media there was out there about the
military. And WOW there is a ton. But with all the negativity out there about evil
recruiters, one thing is the same on every page, it’s all crap. None of it’s true. It’s stuff
people heard from their sisters, friends, uncles, cousins, neighbor. The only way you
would know the FACTS is if you were or are in the military. And you complain about
how the military screwed you over, it’s your own doing. You were probably overweight,
couldn’t pass a PT test or did drugs. Oh, and if you didn’t get the college benfits you were
suppose to, again your fault. The guidlines are in your contract, and you signed it
withouth reading it. “My recruiter lied to me!” Let me get this straight, you signed away
X amount of years to the military, and you didn’t do your own research?! Ever lie to your

parents, friends, boyfriend, girlfriend? Betcha have. Yes there are crappy recruiters out
there. But people act like the military is the only organization on the planet that lies.
Prime example, almost every woman I know puts on their drivers license that they weigh
130 lbs. Go ask to see some, you’ll be amazed. If your license says 130 and you look like
you are pushing 180, people are going to notice. Nobody is going to look at the license
and say wow 130 huh, who knew. People lie, it’s human nature.
Summing it up, why don’t you do your own research, join, get your benefits and
everyting else in your contract, get out and then post something. If you think the military
is evil, join and try to change it. If you’re not part of the solution you’re part of the
problem.

I’ve had relatives go into the army after a recruiting promised them so many things they
did not get. “We’ll pay your bills, we’ll buy you a house” didn’t work for them, and they
were not in it 4 years, try 8 YEARS wasted. Then they get out and didn’t get the jobs they
were promised. As they usually say “Ask me, don’t ask the recruiter.” when someone
mentions to them about going into the service.

John, your family fucked up not the military. The guidelines to get what you want
are very clear, you need an honorable discharge to get access to the G.I. Bill, you
gotta be in shape or else you wont get your promotion etc. basically what they are
is college drop outs. they pay all that money but never graduate so they never get
that job or anything that college/university promised them. except in their case it
was time wasted not money, but hey at least they got paid while they cried
because they had to do something like pick up trash or they got yelled at, boo

If you haven’t experienced the military, stop giving us your opinion.
–The Battle Buddy system –
Me and a friend were supposed to go through Infantry school together, etc. (I still have
the papers saying it).
They trained him separately (two buildings down), and sent him to Italy then
Afghanistan.

I, on the other hand was sent to FUCKING KOREA!
(Complaining only got me smoked like a “POS private” that doesn’t know shit)
**OPPOSITE ENDS OF THE EARTH, ARMY “BATTLE BUDDY SYSTEM” was a
BLATANT LIE!
-Being combat infantry, 111 GT score; and never being deployed.
My brother joined 2 weeks after me and got stuck in Iraq twice, and Korea for a year. Out
of his 3 year enlistment; almost all was overseas. Out of mine, only 1 year (Gay ass
Korea). After that I was sent back CONUS and barred from deploying again.. They
wanted to use me in testing all the new DARPA; future tech crap for the military. Spin
out anyone? Yea…
**Working in Operations (s-3) watching million dollar investments either:
Fly away in the wind
Get stepped on/drove on/smashed
not work
NONE OF IT FUCKING WORKED!
YOU STUPID AS AMERICAN CITIZENS DON’T HAVE A FUCKING CLUE!
We blew so many american tax dollars; pointlessly… continually
–Pissed hot for weed (Fort Bliss anyone?) – Yet… the EXACT same day I received two
awards from our Battalion CO. One commending me for being such an asset to our unit.
The other one I received was for maintaining the HIGHEST fitness score in our battalion
(11:10 Two miles?.. …)(Combat arms battalion..)
The other soldiers I was with got strict UCMJ (kicked out); their lives = fucked.
**For me they just did the whole “Lets loose his papers.. ..make him work for 45 days”..
shit I had 4 months left, I didn’t care. I lied and told everyone I was re-enlisting. “Hell
yea, Re-up!” just so that I could see the look on their face when I gave everyone the bird
and said FUCK OFF! Hahaha it was priceless; they laughed thinking I was joking.
So I kept smoking pot and no one stopped me from that point on
— GI Bill is fair eh? I was told “Free College”, it is October 24; and I signed up for the
GI bill before August 29. TWO FUCKING MONTHS?
NOT OF FREE COLLEGE!
So , FUCK EVERYONE that is PRO- GI bill, it worked out for you congrats; but the
majority of us are getting ass raped (Private-Specialist for sure)
** If I owe the government money, they are on my ass in a second.
If the government owes me money, so what? Deal?
This is what you are all telling me with all the “Pro” military crap.
Fucking idiots, don’t you realize that every country we invade creates collateral damage
that in turn causes more conflict, more $, and more lives than needed. We aren’t

“preventing” shit; they’ve radicalized more than enough americans and muslims that we
need to admit we’ve lost.
Say what you want, I fucking lived it bitches.
I got to see everyone I know and care about get fucked over financially, socially, and
psychologically.
Explains why my medics were always doing heroin!
In the middle of writing this, I received a message from my ole battle buddy in
Afghanistan! FUCK THIS COUNTRYYYYY
Oh and lastly (because trust me, I could go on about this forever with the bull shit I
tasted):
Korean Juicy girls,…. the filipino ones…. are being used in whore houses like nothing in
Korea. No one cares, they just abuse them. If anything, our government condones it just
as well as the koreans.
I am ashamed to call myself an american, I am very ashamed.

I just want to put this out there. I just enlisted in the army. I did my own research before
even talking to a recruiter. Everything I was told by them was the same as my research. I
didn’t feel lied or pressured. But my story is this, last night I was walking downtown and
this homeless man was asking for change, I gave him some when he noticed I was
wearing an army shirt. He asked and I told him I was about to leave for basic. He said

good for me, he said he served for a few years. He told me take to take advantage of
going to school, he told me to take classes because they would be available to me. He
told me he was in his position now (living under a highway bridge) because HE CHOSE
not to do anything useful with his time in the army. He told me he made bad choices and
was DISHONORABLY discharged. He didn’t tell how big and bad the army was or how
I would end up like him. He told told me that it would benefit me if I did it right. THE
WORDS OF A DISHONORABLY DISCHARGED HOMELESS VETERAN were more
swaying than anything any recruiter told me. Say what you want about recruiters. If you
keep your shit straight and together and stay in good standing keep up with training and
tests. I’m pretty sure you’ll get what you want out of the military

Hey hippies, take a chill pill. If you sign a contract with the army and don’t read it, don’t
get all upset that things aren’t the way you imagined. Being in the army is a lot of trash
cleanup and bs for while, but also a test of character. (Sorry, life isn’t a movie) The post
9/11 gi bill is an outstanding education benefit, and signing bonuses are not “loans”. Of
course you have to adhere to your contract. The strength of the army relies upon holding
individuals to higher standard. The medical coverage is good too btw. The author of this
article will never understand what it means to serve honorably, but will always reap the
reward given by the sacrifices of better men and women. As for this theory of the
exploited poor, grow up. Life isn’t roses working two different jobs in the civilian world
either, so quit spewing that bs. The armed forces offers a hard-earned opportunity, but its
always about a higher purpose regardless of your personal economic circumstances. This
article is a clear manifestation of the entitlement attitude that pervades our disgustingly
bloated country. All this coming from a lifelong democrat and supporter of social
programs. You spineless pricks need to look to politicians to fix our ‘system’, instead of
perpetuating lies about those in uniform.

This whole thing is funny in a way. One person telling lies to another person. It doesn’t
matter if your a civilian or choose to join the military, your gonna get lied to one way or
another. Nothing is perfect. There is a thing called Destiny (The hidden power believed to
control what will happen) Recruiters don’t control your destiny, YOU DO! I am a
Recruiter for the Army, very recent one, and I can tell you there are recruiters out there
that havn’t told the whole truth and have said the wrong things, but not all recruiters are
like that, just like this website doesn’t tell the whole truth. I will tell you I can’t control
whether you are gonna deploy to some foreign land in the next 8 years, its a possibility. I
can’t gaurantee you won’t die tomorrow walking home either. Being in the Army for
almost 14 years now, I have seen the benefits change and get better. And honestly they
have gotten better. YOU choose what benefits you want to use, you make your own
decisions as far as what you want to do with yourself and where you want to be. And if
you don’t fullfill your contract that is clear in writing, you won’t get those benefits. Yes,
if you get a less then honorable discharge (which is difficult to get, you have to do
something really bad) you won’t get your GI Bill benefits. The GI BIll right now is over
$53,000 for college, and you still pay a measily $1200, for $53,000 if you choose to use
it. The Department of Defense has seriously ramped up its efforts to educate Soldiers on
using their GI Bill and making it better and easier for them to use. If I don’t use it, my
wife or kids can use it, something I have earned, and was not gauranteed. Current;y the
military is drawing down, so recruiters won’t be out there trying to be slick to get you in
the Army (definately not this one) I don’t need to lie to you, if you don’t feel you need
the Army to help you achieve what you want to in life then so be it, we don’t need you.
The standards have been raised, there are waivers for criminals (good luck getting one
approved), if you don’t have a high school diploma, we don’t need you, Just understand
not all recruiters are bad people, some of us are really out there with your best interest in
mind and really want to help you do something with your life. If you have a good plan,
and your recruiter helps you with that plan, and your disciplined enough to stick to that
plan, your goals in life will be easy to achieve through the Army with a little bit of
sacrifice and hard work. It really doesn’t matter what job you choose in the Army, as long
as you know what you want to do and be and how to get there. A lot of people want to

blame the military for there own failures, and on the inside they really know, they are just
week minded and using ptsd or soemthing else for an excuse. If they could go back in
time, they would have sacrificed a little more, did what they had to do, they still can, but
they believe their own lie. You have a responsibility to yourself, to take care of yourself
and fullfill your OWN destiny, nobody is going to do it for you, its a cut-throat world,
deal with it. To all the Recruiters who read this, this is why you must tell the truth, don’t
give them any excuses as to why the failed themselves. Anything that happens to you in
the military can happen to you as a civilian, and if it wasn’t for the 1% that volunteers to
serve and the ones that were voluntold to serve, you all would probably be speaking
German right now, or be the Unites States of China where you wouldn’t be allowed to
even have a website like this. United we stand, freedom isn’t free and quit your crying.

To anyone thats reading through this and decides the military is not for them then its not.
the type of people that make it in the military are the people the would get their live for
their country and the ones they love. No offense but if you a family member of a soldier
then you still don’t truely understand the bond they share with their country, the people in
it, the people they serve with, or even you. Like any job it has its low points and everyone
in it maybe counting the days til they finish the service but not a single one of the will
every say the didn’t serve. Me personally, i would gladly die for anyone that wants my
protection. whether they are a member of my country or not. from the child playing in the
park to the thug on the street. Call it faith call it naive but something like that is an honor
that i hold higher than any other. why the thug you might ask because its simple acts of
kindness everyday that change people. Yes i will serve my country and others regardless
of the benefits, no matter the losses i chance because it is the right thing to do.
In addition, military contracts are like any other contract. I not gonna say you get
everything promised but if its in your contract you have rights to it if your willing the
make they effort. but make sure your read everything in the contract word for word. No
one holds a gun to your head and makes you sign.

reading all this i see the points of both arguments from the recrutiers and the civys but
lets be honest folks ya the military lies they do shit they arnt supposed to as does the
goverment and for those of you who are going to rant and rave about what i post i was in
the military at one point in time and i got a normal discharge but as i was saying it
happens recrutiers do lie but come on parents lie as well recrutiers and some parents
pressure most likely unintential for the recruiters to get kids to join i knw i know that
some recruiters out there lie their asses off and from iv seen actual is one of the few that
doesnt seem like a complete bullshiter its possible not everything in this articile is true
but folks id wager half of this is true and yes for all you in the military still great
wonderful terrific congrats your still alive or havent been deployed or in any way

screwed up the military does fuck up it is run by humans its going to fuck up the
president is human he is going to fuck up but you know what we the us citizens can make
a differance the goverment nor the military controls what we want or our actions if you
dont like the way the system is run find a way to change it but people be serious with
yourselves the military as well as the citizns have fucked up on numerous occasins so you
join good luck i wish you the best if you decide not to congrats as well i wish you the best

The only thing I seen that was sad is the 33% of veterans who are homeless, thats horrible
but I can proudly say I try to help support them by sending money I know I dont make
much but why not, Im single and have no kids at the moment and I figure well I have an
extra 50 dollars that can provide something for those men because I know they served
and protect us here in a america, so why would I give back money I work for you ask
because of them I wouldnt be here today or have my job, they worked to protect my A$$
to have my freedom now so thats why I help, I was just shocked to find out thats how
many true veterans that are homeless, its shocking that there is that many men out on the
streets after they served and protected our country, so my point is why would you bring
up how many of them are on the streets and complain why their there or how they got
there, and instead why dont you do the right thing and try to support them and get them

off the streets!! Its horrible you took the time to find out how many of those poor guys
are on the streets but didnt take the time to sign up and give them the helping hand they
deserve and HELP send some money to try and support them and make sure they have a
warm place and food in their tummys or any other help they need, Thats all I have to
say…

I have been an Army recruiter for the last 8 years. This entire website is based on lies and
is very misleading. The website uses half-truths and distorts the realities of recruiting. Are
there some recruiters that lie? Yes. Find me one example of sales where EVERY
salesman in completely honest. It doesn’t happen. The military is a cross-section of our
country. Not every person that enlists is honorable and upholds values. If you found this
website because you are anti-military, you don’t have anything to worry about anyway.
Tell the recruiters you aren’t interessted. If you came to this site because you already
enlisted and want to get out of your contract, piss on you for not doing your homework
ahead of time. There are countless places to find out the truth about military contracts. If
you don’t do your own research, you have nobody to blame but yourself. I will leave on
this note and it’s been said several times. Those that run these websites are really playing
with fire. What do you think will happen if you succeed at preventing the miltary from
filling its ranks? Do you think they are just going to accept operating at 50% or 60% or
even 75%? No. They WILL implement the draft and many of YOU will be drafted. You
morons are insulting those people that have decided to serve. Your efforts are aimed at the
wrong people. It is our elected CIVILIAN leaders that decided when to engage in armed
conflicts. Why don’t you work on replacing those people? Those are the people that
spend our tax money and commit us to war.

I happened upon this page and I decided to make a comment. First, I wholeheartedly
thank the soldiers and their families for the sacrifices and risks they have taken to serve
America. Next, I have to say there is alot of truth in what America’s most decorated
soldier ever, General Smedley Butler said. He is quoted in the anti war essay above.
Thinking soldiers would benefit from reading his books if they have time. I agree with
General Butler, we should avoid wars that are not really necessary for our national
defense. I say God Bless America and every good soldier America ever had, and my
prayers are with you. But my friends, lies are lies, and truth is truth. The truth, plain and
clear, is that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction, and Iraq had nothing to do with
911. The evidence that was relied on by the Bush Administration to attack Iraq was
fabricated bullshit. The truth is in the book “Hubris.” Read it those of you who read and
write well. I knew it before the war began. Did you know America once had the highest
wages on Earth? Now Germans make about forty percent more than we do. We are
shipping good paying jobs to low wage China, and most jobs being created here are low
paying dead ends. Our economic statistics are horrible. I want you to read “Betrayal of
American Prosperity” by Clyde Prestowitz. I am giving you that as a mission.
Do it! Both the Democratic and the Republican parties are garbage.
Our economy will keep declining until we the people form a new and better one. Both
parties have sold out America, but for different reasons. Don’t argue now. Read both
those books: then you won’t be arguing, you will be joining me. God Bless!

God just shutup, everybody. If you want to serve then serve, if you don’t then don’t. A lot
of people have served in the military. At one point in US history it was so common no
one was perched on pedestals talking about how they fought for this in that. We are
fortunate we no longer have a draft. When the US goes to war we all go to war in one
way or another. The government has led it’s military into conflicts that we probably
should have never been involved in…(Vietnam, Irag) do we need to sit here and decide
who’s more gung ho and patriotic, or do we need to figure out what we are truly fighting
for by educating ourselves as to what’s really going on? I support miliitary and non
military members alike, I do not support the cronyism, elitism, and ignorance of
Americans that think they’re doing each other some sort of favor.

Honestly the Military might have a lot of back doors and recruiters may lie but shit how
the hell else are they gonna convince anyone to join if there where no benfits imagine
how many less people would be in the military I mean there only 2 % of the American
populations that joined. Don’t join if you just thinking about yourself cause your going to

M240 machine gunner is not a military job. All soldiers are trained on the m240 machine
gun. The skills that you learn are dependant on the MOS that you qualify for when
entering the service. I am a recruiter and would never lie to a recruit, as that was my
primary concern when I was talking to a recruiter. The fact of the matter is that less than 1
percent of the population is qualified to join the service, so there’s no point in resisting a
recruiter. If anything you should just listen to the facts and decide if it’s right for you.
Nobody complains about colleges who recruit out of high schools who’s seniors can’t
even read at an eighth grade level. So why do people complain about military recruiters

who can offer their children a chance to improve themselves above anything that people
who are only looking to take thirty money can?

Thanks for sharing this with the world. You are saving lives and a lot of sorrow.
People who are already in the military are brain washed. Most of them can’t even find
jobs when they go back home. Stop saying there will be a draft, if theres a draft, we can
walk to the white house protest by the millions to save our men.
Get an education, not because it guarantees a job, but because you’ll learn about the
world. Go to college to learn about the world and then find a way to make a living with
your knowledge. Try living below your means and get as little debt as possible.
IF you are considering to enlist please do your research.
WATCH THE MOVIE “BORN ON FOURTH OF JULY” no I am not advertising, its an
excellent award winning film that shows that wars are a business. For oil or just to sell
weapons. $$$.

My ex was in the military and yes he became a man but also got a lot of traumas from the
experiences in war. You can become a man with time, be patient and observant. Please
don’t do it.

Hello my Name is Erica Donald I am her to share my experience with the world on how i
got my love back and saved my marriage… I was married for 5 years with 3 good lovely
kids and we lived happily until things started getting ugly and we had a fights and
arguments almost every time… it got worse at a point that he filed for divorce… I tried
my best to make him change his mind & stay with me cause i loved him with all my heart
and didn’t want to loose him but everything just didn’t work out… he moved out of the
house and still went ahead to file for divorce… I pleaded and tried everything but still
nothing worked. The breakthrough came when someone introduced me to this wonderful,
great spell caster Dr Ogba who eventually helped me out… I have never been a fan of
things like this but just decided to try reluctantly cause I was desperate and left with no
choice… He did special prayers and cast a love spell on him. Within 3 days he called me
and was sorry for all the emotional trauma he had cost me, moved back to the house and
we continue to live happily, the kids are happy too and we are expecting our fourth
child… I have introduced him to a lot of couples with problems across the world and they
have had good news… Just thought I should share my experience cause I strongly believe
someone out there needs it… You can email him at:
[email protected] you can call him +2348116144331..

I am joes candra, I promise to share this testimony all over the world once my boyfriend
return back to me, and today with all due respect i want to thank DR.OSAUYI for
bringing joy and happiness to my relationship and my family. I want to inform you all
that there is a spell caster that is real and genuine. I never believed in any of these things
until i loosed my boyfriend, I required help until i found a grate spell caster, And he cast a
love spell for me, and he assured me that I will get my boyfriend back in two days after
the spell has been cast. Three days later, my phone rang, and so shockingly, it was my
boyfriend who has not called me for past 6 years now, and made an apology for the heart
break, and told me that he is ready to be my back bone till the rest of his life with me.
DR.OSAUYI released him up to know how much i loved and wanted him. And opened

his eyes to picture how much we have share together. As I`m writing this testimony right
now I`m the most happiest girl on earth and me and my boyfriend is living a happy life
and our love is now stronger than how it were even before our break up. So that`s why I
promised to share my testimony all over the universe.All thanks goes to DR.OSAUYI for
the excessive work that he has done for me. Below is the email address in any situation
you are undergoing a heart break, and I assure you that as he has done mine for me, he
will definitely help you too. [email protected] that is his email
address bye

My name is Adams Bella, i live and work in England, UK. My life is back!!! After 2
years of Broken marriage, my husband left me with two kids, I felt like ending it all, i
almost committed suicide because he left us with nothing, i was emotionally down all this
while. Thanks to a spell caster called Dr Agumagu spell cast which i met online. On one
faithful day, as I was browsing through the internet, I came across several of testimonies
about this particular spell caster. Some people testified that he brought their Ex lover
back, some testified that he restores womb,cure cancer,and other sickness, some testified
that he can cast a spell to stop divorce and also spell to get a good paid job so on. He is

amazing, i also come across one particular testimony, it was about a woman called Vera,
she testified about how he brought back her Ex lover in less than 2 days, and at the end of
her testimony she dropped his email.After reading all these, I decided to give it a try. I
contacted him via email and explained my problem to him. In just 24hours, my husband
came back to me. We resolved our issues, and we are even happier than ever.Dr Agumagu
you are a gifted man and i will not stop publishing him because he is a wonderful man. If
you have a problem and you are looking for a real and genuine spell caster, Try him
anytime, he is the answer to your problems. you can contact him on
([email protected]) or call him +2348158847627 he is the best caster that

What you said was actually very reasonable. But, what about this?
what if you were to create a awesome headline? I am not saying your information isn’t
good., but what if you added a post title to maybe grab a person’s attention? I mean Army
of
None: Top Ten Military Recruiter Lies | CounterRecruiter.net is kinda boring.
You might peek at Yahoo’s front page and see how they write news titles to grab viewers
interested.
You might try adding a video or a related pic or two to grab
readers interested about everything’ve written. In my opinion, it
would make your posts a little bit more interesting.
