Um, no?
So, was reading the news. I know it always irritates the hell out of me, but I do it anyhow.
And I came across this gem. "People of color who go into the military are put on the front line," said the 67-year-old Carroll, who is black.
What century is this woman living in? I've been around MANY military units and branches and environments. 99% of non-Caucasians who go into the military are smart enough to avoid line-units. They pick jobs that will actually be useful outside the military, and don't have to prove their cajones by being infantry.
While I totally agree that it's completely inappropriate to give out high school kids' information to recruiters, I completely disagree with that statement. I do think recruiters should be allowed to set up a display in a cafeteria or common area. Kids should KNOW what's out there. But they don't need to be cold-call harassed by recruiters.
This totally discounts my opinion on the so-called front line and the No Child Left Behind Act.
