Propoganda horse.

the propaganda horse hit my high school today dropping a big steamy pile of propaganda, trying to get students to join the canadian army, through the co-op program promising to pay the students, and trying to make us believe working for the army is not as dangourous as we may think it is, which i think is total BS! i feel better now i've ranted.

Haha...

I remember a recruiter (American Army) came to our school last year, and his main point of trying to get us to go into the Army's college program, is that they have "statistically less rape than most college campuses!"

I loled.

wow, i think the US has it way worse then us canucks with the recruiting crap. if someone wants to join the army let them but dont tell people they are too stupid do anything else but fight wars. which is kind of ironic in itself. send 10,000 dumb people to one spot give them guns and tell them to shoot other people. this is how bad things happen.

STOcocker, we did the same thing. They loaded all of the students taking the ASVAB in the cafeteria, but students taking the PSAT/NMSQT were given quiet classrooms.

i think its different with the army, most of the kids recruited are going to be foot soldiers, or airborne. college reps are trying to get you to go to there school and earn a degree.(mainly just give them your money to go to school) and recruiters are getting you to sign up for what i think is just about the most dangerous thing you can do. and the way its starting to look, its only gunna get worse.

most dangerous thing you can do?

you are quite mistaken

The Armed Services kept calling annoying me once so I told em I was a homosexual. Then they found out I wasn't and called me and demanded an explanation.

There was actually a Marine Corps recruiter who got his tail in a sling around here.

When they came to administer the ASVAB, the rule was that there was to be NO solicitation for recruitment. This guy gave us business cards, and asked us to fill out 'more information' requests.

A few months later, the Marines came to the school looking for me and a few other friends. It was a different guy, and I asked what had happened to the first one, and they told me that he got nailed for soliciting in schools during the ASVAB.
