Drugs and recruiters

Radar Magazine makes some prank calls to recruiters.

As a sample, try this one. I found it funny.

(Related: NBC has a hidden camera piece showing recruiters trying to "coach" potential recruits through drug testing.)

  • You know... not many people expected much from Forrest Gump either. “You never know what you are gonna get.”

    Desperate times call for desperate actions.

  • Yeah, but Forrest Gump wasn't a highly trained, highly armed meth head with little supervision.

    Probably would have made a much better movie, though.

  • That is so very true! We need to start writing some screenplays. Can you just imagine the crop of Iraq war movies to come?

    We need to get in on this action, now!

  • I wonder if they'll be gungho's. I would think you'd have some John Wayne/Chuck Norris type movies, some Blackhawk Down type movies, and then this odd third type that is the father and familyman regular guy just trying to make it through.

    Maybe it's because of the increased phone/internet communications, but this is the first war where that type of story really exists, of a father "at work" in a war, but still calling home every few days.
