Hello boy, Uncle Sam wants you to join the U.S. army. Just sign up here, and we'll have you in basic training in no time.
I don't know. What kind of future can I find in the army?
I'll be honest with you. We're at war, and you'll probably be killed. And if you don't come back in a bodybag, you'll probably come down with a neurological disorder.
But at least I could retire as an officer and live on a nice pension the rest of my life, right?
Not likely. Without ROTC training and a college degree, you'll never be an officer. Best case scenario is that you come back wounded and have to beg on the street.
Well, thanks for the offer, but I think I'll pass.
