That's right. Bush and his cronies have no problem sending poor, black
kids to do their dirty work for them.

In addition, the military offers some a chance to go to college who
normally wouldn't get to go to college.

....if they don't come back in a body bag.

And the military can offer some
people structure.

For a lot of people, the military is a good career choice. I some family
members who had an excellent experience in the military. But, certainly, the
military isn't the right choice for everyone.

Especially if you value free thinking, creativity and your life...
