Keeping military recruiters away from your children in high school
I found out that you have to renew the "do not contact" form every year
and they will still send your kid junk mail anyway. |

The military offer some excellent programs that give some kids the structure that they need. And some excellent oppurtunities. However, it is your choice, not theirs, that your kid is contacted with them. I would contact your kid's school and ask why they are giving them your info after you asked that it not be given out. It may be that they gave out the info before you gave the school the form and the military has your info from that. I would right "REFUSED" on the mail and have it returned to the military recruiters. Why should you have to dispose of their garbage? Jeff |

It isn't excellent for the people who are (or may be in future) killed by that same military, or their families (whichever country you're in). |

For a lot of poor people, the military offers a chance to get out of the ghetto. In addition, the military offers some a chance to go to college who normally wouldn't get to go to college. 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. Jeff |

I was perturbed at first when we started getting mail from the various branches of the military, but it doesn't bother me now. If you don't respond, they leave you alone, and the service *is* a viable choice for many young people. |

For each and every person who goes into the military, their act of going into the military is not "good" from the point of view of some people, for example those being killed or to be killed in the future by that same military.

(whichever country you're in.) For each person going into military service for their country, there are many more that did not choose to serve, or shirked duty when they were drafted. Those people's rights and freedom are protected by those that chose to serve, and who risked death, whether you might care about it or not. You and I can sleep safe tonight, in large part because of those people that chose to serve, and even die, for their countries. |

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... -L. |

Because it's the only one that is ever spouted. Ever hear of "unalienable rights"? Maybe you should ****ing look it up. and who risked death, whether you might care about it or not. You and I can sleep safe tonight, in large part because of those people that chose to serve, and even die, for their countries. If you think you are risking your life for me, don't. I don't want you to, I don't care if you do, and if you want to do ME a favor, take that ****ing dickhead president (and I use that term loosely) of YOURS out of the whitehouse - the who has done MORE to erode my rights in his last years of service than ANY other dictator, country, governement or "enemy" has, in the last 100 years.. Assholes - every single one of you. -L. |
