The Army came to my highschool my senior year and put on an exhibition. They had Humvees and APCs and a massive wall of speakers that would make a passerby deaf at 40 yards. You were able to get out of class if you went to the event and listened to their pitch. I was one of like 4 kids who didn’t go. Parents weren’t told about this in advance, and there were recruiters there with pens waiting.
TBF, my school did have JROTC program but still… I think thats what set off my long history of being anti-that.
That’s crazy but not really surprising to me anymore for the States I guess. I think I’ve only ever seen an army recruiter once in my life and it was a booth at a convention semi recently
Yes, and of course they’re allowed to lie to children as well

From the UK and I’ve ever seen one when actively went to the recruitment office, before I wised up and noped out of that idea.
