they use slimey evil tactics (lige giving out free shit, but that isnt nearly as bad as the fucking bullshit lies they tell about the army)
For the slightly more ignorant, they make the army seem like a great option after high school (I suppose for the very poor it is, but its still really shitty)
They will ask you what you like, and no matter what it is, they will have a way of telling you that you can do whatever it is that you like in the army. It will mostlikley be a flat out lie (well, maybe not, but the truth will be twisted for sure).
On top of that, they tell you that after the army, you will have usefull skills to get a job with and thats just a big BULL FUCKING SHIT. First of all, many of the things they train you for have nothing to do with civilian life. I know a guy who was in the airforce. They told him he could get a job with an airliner. Calibrating an F16 (or whatever the fuck it was) he told me, is a shittload different then calibrating a 747. He said he may be able to get a job being a flight attendant, but that is about it.
On top of that, the way they train you is not very practical for a civilian job. For instance, in the army, lets say you are a Humvee mechanic. What they infact show you how to do is work on only a very small part of the Humvee so they can have a number of people working on it at once and it gets out into combat sooner. So now the war is done, and you know how to replace an exaust system on a millitary humvee and that is it. You really think a car repair shop is going to hire you if you only know how to do one thing?
Also, as for the money they say they will govie you for college, thats a bunch of bullshit as well. they give you some, but not nearly as much as they say they are going to. Plus, it actually reduces your pay while you are in the army if you choose to get money for college.
overall, the US combat forces, atleast the leaders are really slimey shitty people
