What do you think about America's Army which was designed by the Army for recruitment purposes, its a violent first person shooter game much like Ghost Recon, its target is young teens and pre-teens.

Go to the Army's website:

They make it look like summer camp.
I have fewer issues with recruitment than I do with the tactics they employ.
why's he hanging out with a dick like you?Quote:

Get ready for the draft..
Charlie Rangel, a veteran of the Korean War who has unsuccessfully sponsored legislation on conscription in the past, said he will propose a measure early next year.
In 2003, he proposed a measure covering people age 18 to 26. This year, he offered a plan to mandate military service for men and women between age 18 and 42; it went nowhere in the Republican-led Congress.
Democrats will control the House and Senate come January because of their victories in the Nov. 7 election.
It's been proposed and I am sure it will come back now that Obama is going to be in WH..
I wouldn't worry too much about that. Rangel was merely trying to draw attention to the fact that the United States is involved in conflicts around the world and only some of our citizens are actually sacrificing. He doesn't want to bring back the draft; he wants an end to US interventionism.Quote:

Well, at about 1:30-2:00 in the morning I noticed there was a booth set up with two military looking personell behind the table and I went up to them and they told me that I could get a free techno CD if I gave my info. I looked at the CD, liked what I saw, so I looked at the card they wanted me to fill out. Name, address, social, phone number, etc. Needless to say, I suddenly had a pseudonym a different address and my social was just 9 numbers taken out of the air, and I had a new CD! So really I have to know, could they think of no better demographic to recruit from??
Sure because Democrats are going to past every piece of legislation that has ever been proposed by a Democrat in the past, right? Because no matter what the legislation is, if another democrat proposes it they'll vote yes on it, right?Quote:

Sounds like relatively decent marketing of the kinds they need to be doing to keep up the numbers.Quote:
