<p>I don’t think this is true. By law the military is required to operate within the law even though some people may not like the way the laws are written. That doesn’t mean that that every now and then an individual in the military doesn’t break the rules any more than anyone in any other organization but I don’t think the military is practicing illegal discrimination or breaking laws.</p>
<p>As a former military person, I just thought I would give a little input here. First of all, I think the military has every right to visit and recruit in high schools. That being said, I have no problems with other folks being allowed to speak too to give a different viewpoint. Before anybody enters the military, they need to have all the information they can get. My wife firmly disagrees with me on this, it is a subject we just dont discuss much!</p>
<p>EK - Although there is a lot positive to be said for certain schools in the Seattle School District, Im glad I live far enough out that I dont have to worry about the negative side.</p>

<p>That’s a pretty harsh accusation. Care to explain it?</p>
<p>There is a difference between lawful and unlawful discrimination. I wouldn’t want to soldier next to me going into diabetic shock or having a life threatening asthma attack while under fire! Thus, we have rules that create discriminatory recruiting practices. They are for a reason AND legal.</p>
