Are you kidding? There are a lot of incredibly stupid people attending colleges all across North America. Some of them even graduate. Just because you've got a peice of paper doesn't necessarily mean you're brilliant, it might just mean you have a lot of money or know how to bargain your way to the top with a minumum of actual work.

BS ..........No moron would think they're joining the armed forces to play bugle and dance.


He actually has no clue what a recruiter does. He just assumes they all prey on the innocent and stupid.

I don't think you can say that you know that for sure. In the first world war, people joined because they thought it was some sort of glorious undertaking, only to find out they would be living in rat and disease-infested trenches, getting their limbs blown off by artillery and machine guns. Those kinds of naive people probably still exist. Either that or they think they're invincible because they're fighting with the world's most technologically advanced military.

I have to think that it must hurt to be so clueless. Then I kind of feel bad for you...

Don't try and convince him otherwise. It 'll save on a possible friendly fire investigation.

If I'm so clueless, why don't you fill me in?

Do people not get maimed and killed in wars anymore?

Back then, people still cared about virtues like courage, duty, and self-sacrifice. It's not really so hard to understand that soldiers actually believe in what they are fighting for, is it?

Once you're part of the military, you're told what to believe in. :wink:

He just keeps trotting this out on every thread.

How can ANYBODY not be aware that the US Army, that has been in Afghanistan since 2001 and Iraq since 2003, is in combat?
It's on the news every bloody day, Iraq vets have been on American Idol and other mainstream shows help out vets etc. There are yellow ribbons on millions of US cars.

Mod delete.

Just poking with a stick, I wasn't being serious. While most of the women in my family are in the medical industry, the majority of the males in my family are/were in the military, or fishermen (depending on which side of the family we're looking at)

My father and brother were with the "1st Battalion The Nova Scotia Highlanders" and I would have been in as well if it wasn't for the foolish recruiting rules applied in the year I was joining.... passed everything with flying colors except apparently my pushups, which were judged by some YMCA fool from Halifax. Had to do something like 22 pushups and after having this idiot say I was doing it wrong and to start over, I guess I did about 40 "Wrong" pushups.... even though my dad helped train me and was also a former school gym teacher.

Failed me, said if I wanted to take the test again, I'd have to venture into Halifax to the Y and pay him $30 to take the test again.

Went a few weeks later to do it again, trained more, figured I had it all figured out..... then he screwed me over with the pushups again. My dad gave him a few words on what push ups look like, ended up still failing, paid him the $30 and when we got to the car......

.... 5 mins late, $30 ticket. FFS!

That was it.... I never bothered any further then that. The funny thing was two years before when my brother got in, these idiot tests wern't in place that I was going through.

Apparenty when Afghanistan started up, they found that recruitment levels were dropping a lot, mainly due to people being failed for things they should be trained to do, like they did with my brother, who shouldn't be expected to be experts before they even signed up.

So last I heard, they canned that procedure. I could be mistaken.

That's the way she goes I guess.... now I sit in front of a computer and draw pretty pictures.

I'm doing my part :lol:

I guess cadets was as far as I went for that career
