Sometimes it's a conspiracy...sometimes not so much

Recently read about how high schools give the names of students to military recruiters. Oh, no shit, what a shock. Anyway, I felt the need to leave a comment. Here is a link to the article, and here is a copy of my comment.

One reason they give the information to recruiters? Schools receive federal money. Same thing for colleges. Any college that receives federal funding has to allow them access to the campus. Private schools have the option to refuse. Just thought you would like to know. Of course most schools give their students credit for being able to make their own decisions, they also give the name to colleges trying to suck their parents money as well. It's just more advertising. Get over it! Not interested. Don't sign up. I can't speak for all recruiters past/present/future but our high schools are one of the only pools they can draw from and like it or not they are just trying to do a job. That job is to find willing, qualified, and hopefully eager candidates. Not an easy task in these times.
