If you want to join a branch of the armed forces where you're least
likely to see combat, join the Coast Guard.

Maybe these young potential recruits need an agent representing them
when dealing with the US Military....something like a player agent in
professional sports.....or better yet a union.



A soldiers' union; I'll bring it up at the AFL-CIO meeting in two
weeks
in Chicago. I get to go for a day or maybe two, and hope to return
unbloodied.



It would be a real service for someone to make those recruiters put
their promises on paper and have the 'contract' duly notarized.
It might stop some of the outrageous lies and deception.
(wonder how many 'recruits' they would sign up then)

Their promises are put on paper. It's called an Enlistment Contract.

Read it carefully.


Another crock of crap from our military apologist.


Why aren't you out on your custom made 36 foot lobster boat Krause?

Heck, even when we had our modest 32 footer we would spend every summer
weekend (and vacation days) on it cruising around.

But you seem to post here 24 x 7.

Go figure.
