Another Protest Planned for Army's Video Game Recruitment Center

Seems a bit silly though. I mean, it's pretty straightforward in my eyes. If you join the military you will get shot at, be exposed to roadside bombs, have snipers in the hills, etc. Not exactly my definition of fun.

I would think the dangers of the military would be pretty common sense.

"I've said it once, others have said it, and I'll say it again: If you don't like the Army Center, we could always scrap those and go back to forced conscription."

Yeah, because that REALLY worked the last time it was implemented.  Sure, we don't really want all those college kids running our companies anyway.  Far better to  force the intellectuals to go to Canada and get all the dumbasses who sign up to get shot at while fighting the most useless wars to run GM. 

And conscription always makes the military stronger, right?  I mean god forbid we should have people who WANT to be there fighting our battles for us.  Far better to have kids who are completely unmotivated.

I mean, what could be the harm.

LOL

too bad they forgot to play the innocent protestor in those getups.

They're protesting a center that does basically the same thing that their children do everyday at home.  This center also doesn't allow people under the age of  13 in, and I've been told they don't allow anyone under 17 to use the 'simulators', which are basically rail games at best..  They're also protesting a place that helps highschool dropouts get GEDs with NO STRINGS ATTACHED! 

My God, what a terrible place.

**EDIT**

The computers and XBOXs at the AEC run the same games that we play everyday.  These people don't really have much of a leg to stand on; the AEC is basically there to generate some interest like very other recruitment center.  The main difference is that not everyone at the AEC is a soldier; many are civilians or family of soldiers.

Why are they idiots?  Because they're protesting on an already shaky premise, and then THEY FEEL THE NEED TO REPEATEDLY LIE about their protests and other issues.  I've always believed when all you could do was lie or inflame to make a point (like Jesse Jackson), you didn't have much of a point to start with.
