Let me tell you a true story. I was in Palm Springs over Christmas and had rented a car from Hertz. I was trying to return it as the original place had closed. I went to The Dessert Sands Marriott Hotel and Resort as they had a pickup. This is without a doubt one of the most beautiful and exclusive hotels I have ever seen. The lowest room rate is $454.00/ night. I saw military recruiting vehicles outside but did not think much of it. When I walked inside, I must have looked lost and a woman in military fatigues and a knapsack walked up to me and ask if she could help me. I was a bit taken aback as I would not expect to see either her or myself there. So I said what are you doing here. She said there are 500 of us military here having a convention as the Army thought we had worked hard and deserved a break. I looked at her in sheer disbelief and said your kidding right. She said no we just got out of a meeting. I said what is it that you do in the ARMY and she said I am a RECRUITER!!!. I was on my usual bad behavior(angry at what is happening to this country) and I said to her "Oh you are the ones that lie to the kids in high school and elsewhere telling them about signing bonuses, free educations, benefits for life, exclusive training that will get them big salaries when they get out, no fighting in combat zones, no stop orders, no 4-5 consecutive tours of duty in combat areas, etc.and on and on ad infinitum. She just smiled. So instead of sending the people that really deserve to go to Palm Springs like people who have served 5 consecutive tours in combat zones they send the low life lying scum recruiting officers and don't say you were not lied to or they are KNOWN FOR THEIR LIES as on my way home I sat next to a recruit who said he was lied to about his signing bonus. I also had a woman who worked for me whose husband had been a recruiter and could not do it any more as it entailed lying to a degree that even he could not tolerate. They also so have quota's they must fill and if they do not fill them they are in trouble. I guess these 500 RECRUITERS were the super star liars cause they were sure being wined and dined.
The response I usually get from you guys and gals is that you somehow manage to justify this type of behavior as normal: OK, justifiable, necessary, not a problem, all armies do it, I wish I was a RECRUITER, I know honest recruiters, recruiters are a part of the process. So go ahead and justify it. I am not in the military although I was an Air Force brat for 18 years. My father retired a Full bird Colonel in 1966. I have to say this does not particularly impress me these days and I never discuss it with anyone. I am much older now and more aware of the way this corrupt world operates and I believe we are the IMPERIALISTS. We inherited the baton of the ruling empire form Great Britain after WWI after they had lost an entire generation of young men in "no man's land" in WWI and were incapable of policing their(ELITES EMPIRE) empire. They were bankrupt and still are. It was J.P. Morgan that financed WWI for the British as they were busted. In fact, so are we as we declared bankruptcy in 1932 under FDR(due to the first great depression) as did all other nations that had FEDERAL RESERVES. The only 3 that don't have FEDERAL RESERVES are the so-called AXIS of EVIL.(Iraq, Iran and N. Korea)
