Our taxes dollars at work

whenever i get a short hair cut, i had recruiters ask me if i want to join all the time if i was at the mall, grocery store, etc. street crew, yo.

what's a good use of govt money? repaving a road for the sake of paving it or military recruitment?

id rather have them repaving roads over calling people and trying to manipulate them into joining the military. if someone wants to do it, let them come in on their own. dont fill them with false promises

he then tells me that 40% of fortune 500 ceo's are ex-marines. i tell him to name me one, and he says john schnatter (papa john). a quick google search shows that that is false. he then goes through all these personal and health questions to tell me that i am exlusivly qualified.

Sad part of this is, the government is cracking down on for profit schools for using deceptive advertising yet the Marines are telling straight up B.S. to people.

Gotta hand it to those guys. As salesmen, they're tenacious. ("Always be closing.")
