The Army is starting to look a little desperate for recruitees. I guess when you hear daily about our troops getting killed for no good reason, it just doesn't sound like an alluring career opportunity any more.
Recently, the army decided to offer 15-month tours of duty in order to try to recruit more young men and women to join up. That sounded pretty desperate, but now, a Denver TV station has reported that army recruiters are encouraging potential recruitees to lie by creating false diplomas and transcripts of their high school degrees, and to take pills that (supposedly) help avoid a positive on a drug test in order to qualify for enlistment.
The kid that exposed this shameful state of affairs sounds intelligent and sober, so there was no harm done in this case, but it's unlikely he was the first to be told to lie in order to enlist. One wonders how many dropout stoners we sent over to Iraq before the story broke.
