>Anti-war activists such as Murphy charge that to fill their quotas, some military recruiters make promises they can't guarantee, such as money for college or training in a particular specialty, and give misleading descriptions of military life.

It's true -- my friend who's in Iraq right now was promised that the Army would pay his way through law school. However, a couple of months before the Iraq war, he asked when they'd start paying. They told him that the answer was never, because the fact that he was asking about school during a time of war showed that he cared more about himself than he did about the country, and thus he didn't deserve to have his education paid for.

"I tell them: 'Have a plan for your future. Because if you don't, the military has a plan for you.' "

It shouldn't be that way...but nowadays it is. And when the military is misused, it gives rise to crap like this.
