Oh you are in the UK. I don't know how they recruit over there, but here it isn't really propaganda. Mostly here in the US they are just promissing you money for college, job training, travel, and an exciting job. I just signed up to shoot guns and be a Marine like my father, but I got everything they promissed.
sawleaf Reviewed by sawleaf on . Our Government ***very personal views This may sound like an essay but it's something I feel strongly about. And I just wondered if anyone else felt the same way. I was in the military for a while. I got hurt pretty bad. And I got discharged. I didn't get a severence pay because the doctor claimed eventually I would get well and it wouldn't effect my life. While I was sick I was having problems paying my bills. I go to college I work and pay taxes. I strive to do better to have a decent life and live comfortably. Just be a normal Rating: 5
