Are you between 17 and 38 and want to have some fun? |
|
Are you in good physical condition? See your name in HEADLINES - NOW! Simply fill in the blanks below and watch what happens.
That text was superimposed on top of a couple of guy jumping from a Hum-Vee. This is the pop-ad that just "popped up" on my computer. Clicking on it sent me to Military.com and another pitch asking for your personal information. Damn, they are getting desperate for killbots.

4. The fun part is the gamble on whether or not you'll survive |
|
each day as a moving target without adequate protective gear.
Or guessing how many years you'll be stuck in Iraq before you'll get to go back home to your families & jobs.
And the really fun part is when you do get back home - if you make it back in one piece - & you learn that this president has cut a lot of your benefits, that his actions don't reflect his "support the troops" rhetoric.

6. My definition of "fun" |
|
Curiously doesn't include killing people. Or hardship separations from my loved-ones. Or shitty pay. Or being treated like a parasite when they're done with me and toss me aside like trash... assuming I survive, that is.
