MTV reports on Army recruiting woes
MTV's Gideon Yago Reports - Saying 'No' To The Army

5. Some of them are still drinking the kool-aid
or not paying attention. Parents have a lot to do with this. My kids wouldn't know what was going on except I keep at em' with the facts.

Kool-aid drinking parents = kool-aid drinking kids! :toast:
