New Nice ad-hom
But they cannot sign until they are legal adults.

But thats ok, we have people all to willing to make decisions for them and take potential opportunities away from them.

We're so lucky that way.

New While they can't sign until adults
you are perfectly happy requiring high schools to send personal information (that no other recruiting entity gets, don't bother giving me that crap about equal access) to the military.

And then for the military to contact them in a continous barrage.

And for them to ignore the parents of kids who say stop calling if there is a hint that the kids was receptive (plenty of examples if you care to google).

So while the day of signing might wait until 18, the thought process is finely influenced for long before then.
New What I've said
is that it is NO DIFFERENT TODAY than at any other time. Some website gets you all in a fluff and you ignore the reality that has always been there because the >now< supports your prejudice.

I can find supporting positions for ANYTHING on the web if "I care to Google".

My position is simple. If McDonalds can recruit on a high school campus then the armed forces should have the same ability.

You want to make this bigger than that, enjoy yourself.

New McDonald's doesn't train kids to kill or be killed
A kid can work at Mickey D's and quit if he/she wants to. You can't quit the military, no siree. You are in for your hitch, if you make it out alive.

Big difference. That has been the point all along, Bill!

SF wants the kids to go to either college or job training. What is wrong with that? If they change their minds later, so be it. But at least let these kids get a chance to make something of their lives. It's all about vocation. If someone feels the call to be in the military, by all means, follow that call. Most kids have no idea what they want to do with their lives. And LIVE is the operative word here.

Were we not in a war, this would not be such a hot issue, but, as it stands, the people of San Francisco obviously feel it is predatory to recruit in high schools. I agree. The kids are too young and inexperienced. Training is minimal at best and then they are shipped to combat. Good luck!

Hell, even the experienced soldiers are dying! War is war! Can you blame these people for wanting to preserve a natural resource...their young people?

I just want to leave you with one thought. Why is it that only four of the 535 members of Congress have children in the military; only one, Sen. Tim Johnson, D-S.D., has a child who fought in Iraq?

Peace,
Amy

It doesn't matter what the TERMS are, you are hunting for differences to JUSTIFY your position that you know better for the cheeldrun what choices they should be allowed to make as adults by filtering and/or blocking their access to both information and the ability to commit.
