Military giving away free stuff?!

<p>Any 16-18 year old’s out there know what I’m talking about. I’ve been getting mail offering USB flash drives, running shirts, movie tickets and hats with the “Marines” logo on them, in return that you give them some information. I find it hilarious that we’re 16tril in debt and the government is giving stuff away to people that will never join the army.</p>

<p>Are we running low on freshmeat or something?</p>

<p>Actually, it’s a lot tougher to join the military than it was 3-5 years ago because they’re trying to cut down on the number of people in the military to ease budget woes.</p>

<p>I don’t think that a few million spent on marketing will matter to an Army.</p>

<p>You are literally assigning a value to a life.</p>

<p>Life is invaluable.</p>

Ha. The military’s marketing is the least of their expenses they need to worry about.</p>
