Questions Recruiters Don't Want You to Ask

Military recruiters glorify war -- and then sell it to you. Like cigarette pushers, recruiters will say anything to get you hooked.

Job Skills?

  • Why do veterans earn less than similar non-veterans? Why are veterans imprisoned more often? Why are 1/3 of all homeless people veterans?

Money for College?

  • Why do 65% of recruits who pay the required $1200 into the Montgomery GI Bill never get a dime in return?

Discipline?

  • How does getting yelled at and ordered around provide self-discipline?

Opportunity?

  • The opportunity to be harassed? Discriminated against? Kicked out or prosecuted for having sex? Why do people of color represent 1/3 of all enlisted personnel but only 1/8 of the officers?

Adventure?

  • Does dropping bombs on kids really sound like fun? How about killing or dying for oil?
