It appears that I left the wrong impression and message to others. I have respect for ANYONE that serves in the military. Agreed that when the bullets start flying, we're all on the same team. I have my opinions on each branch of our military, and I respect everyone else's opinions. Including the ones that responded to my post.

i'm a de anza student and i just decided to walk through the job fair they had today. i happened to make eye contact with the guy at the "go army" desk. he asked me if i was interested and i quickly shot him down with a "no thanks" and a smile. as i walk away, i hear a "you scared?"
couldn't believe the army had to insult me in order to get my attention and enlist. just thought u guys might like to hear..

What makes you think that soldiers are forbidden from disrespecting civilians? Do you think that there is something written in the Manual of Courts Martial that states that soldiers must respect the people they've sworn an oath for protecting your rights and freedoms?

Because you're already a lost sale. Probably not qualified anyhow.

I was playing the Coco Solo clip to my 8 yr old son the other day & realized I hadn't heard from you in a while.
I agree...one motivated Infantryman is worth, what, one dozen college students?
For you all that say no to the military, you will look back on your life and realize how shallow & empty your being is.
The easy way through life is the least satisfying way through life.

no kidding. I didn't know the market in the bay area was so tough. I mean I knew the bay was always liberal but it seemed like when I was in high school a lot of people were joining, but I guess times have changed. I do not envy these recruiters. They got a hard, stressful job. The station I was at worked 12hour days and sometimes saturdays.

each recruiter has their own style...
