As a high school student, I find the book on counter-recruiting, Army of None, especially unnerving. Throughout the whole of our childhood, we are led to believe our lives have value but it appears that our current government thinks that we have the most value as cannon fodder. From glaringly obvious recruitment strategies like military booths on career day, to slightly more subtle tactics like a woman known as Mama Drill exulting the benefits of joining the military as part of a motivational speech, it is clear that the US army has plans for me and my peers, and they . . .
