The days are gone when just about anyone could walk into a recruiter’s office and sign up for the military – whether it be to help pay for college or get themselves ‘straightened out’ for some personal issue they have or trouble with the law.

That’s unfortunate, because the Military has a way of turning failures into winners.
With all the government scandals in the last 200 years, there should be no question I am not going to trust any of them, military, Department of Education, NSA, CIA, Federal Reserve banking system (not even Federal anyways) etc, etc. How much evidence do people need? And just because people might be a good person with good intentions and work for any government or military branch, does NOT mean that the intentions and agendas are what you think they are. There is overwhelming evidence, regardless of what you think the U.S.A. is, that who is actually running it does NOT care at all about you and I. If you cannot see that by now, then you are right where they want you, in a dumbed down, pacifist state of mind, thinking they do nothing wrong. A wise person sees the facts beyond the lies, deception, manipulation, government disinfo and misinfo, and knows where they stand. If you can do that, you will be better off, have peace and go on with your life. I do every day.
