Camouflaged Military Recruitment...

With new recruitment challenges the military is now turning to extremely slick advertising such as the myfuture.com web site for teens (try the "work interest quiz" for fun). There's even a special version for parents at todaysmilitary.com (note that both web sites are listed as .com and NOT .mil). This camouflaged effort is in addition to their new video game "America's Army".

Serving in the military is a proud profession. At the same time, I've heard the stories from soldiers in Iraq and understand why the pentagon has to sugar-coat their recruitment efforts these days.
