Yeah, so why have military recruiters visiting schools in the first place? [/QUOTE] The same reason products are advertised on TV, more or less. [/QUOTE]They advertise products in schools these days...Whoa!!!!

Speaking of which....
I saw an hour-long infomercial for the armed forces the other night. It didnt mention killing people once, or possibly getting maimed, scarred emotionally for life, or even possibly killed. Actually it seemed like the entire commercial avoided the topic of war altogether.

Gotta love only getting half the story. If that infomericial were an advertisement for a product, I would deem it misleading and a fraud.
