American views of mil-service improve

Wonderful! Free speech is still alive and well - Thanks to our veterans and all of our active duty. Unfortunately respect for others is not outlined in the constitution.

Yeah, I guess I should just focus on the war and nothing else. Can't possibly be anything else going on in this country, even though the war isn't even in this country.

Stings on dishonest recruiters are far more important than anything going on in Afghanistan, Iraq or anything outside Santa Cruz. Hopefully, you won't be allowed anywhere near the writers of history books with that nonsense.

I read what you wrote, and it's clearly a bunch of pro-military ####### that blatantly ignores every single article from a reputable source I've given. I guess all of those stings done on the military recruiters was just a big fat lie, huh? All faked.

Do you make up everything? I told you crooked recruiter stories are well known among those in the military but of course you won't know anything about that. If you missed that I doubt you read anything I wrote.

Military recruiters go after the rich and middle class, the poor just sit at home and just collect welfare, right?

McCain, Palin and Biden all have sons on active duty is that enough for you? Yes, the middle class is well represented since the 30% of dropouts and those with felonies usually aren't in military but they make their mark in prisons. Why do you dismiss the contributions of all minorities in uniform by saying nothing about them?

And with your attitude about students and career centers, it's hard to believe you were ever a teacher, and if you were, I sure as #### am thankful you're not -- and I bet plenty of others are too. People with your attitude don't belong in education, or anywhere around teenagers. Maybe you were fired, maybe you simply couldn't handle kids criticizing your views. The latter seems to be your biggest problem.

I did enough as a student teacher to know the low pay and lousy working conditions were worse than anything I experienced in the military. You can hang with teenagers all you like since you clearly haven't moved on passed that stage. I wasn't fired and I never found any American high school students who knew anything about history or geography so there weren't any challenges. For example, I spent some time telling students how their vocabulary was a fraction of their grandparents- no response. A lot of teachers shouldn't be in the classroom but guys like you will not run afoul of the teacher unions or pc thought.
