U.S. Army imitates Apple to attract new recruits

@Mike Lane-

Thanks to the brave men who have served or are serving. I salute you as you are a better man that I. You are a credit to this great nation and you prove to the world our country isn't a bunch of wussy Jetta driving wimps, even in the face of an ugly and cowardly enemy.

To those who point out ever single negative of our armed forces in a vain attempt to criticize the very being of our armed forces to feel better about your self righteous outlook on your apparently small world view, screw you.

That is all.

Damn right people will get mad about it. The US army can go ***k themselves. All they successfully do is kill poor americans with no other choice, shit on the rest of the planet and funnel money to the evil bastards who ***k the freedom out of america.

Good to see that people who have never been in the military or near the military are commenting.

Not disagreeing with all of the points, but... many of them are FAR off base or very misguided. Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear.

Writing this from Iraq.

It's an all-volunteer force, or have you numbskulls forgotten that? If a GI dies in combat, it's not like they were duped or forced to be there. What, do these idiots think it's just "job training" and "money for college"? Fucking stoopid idiots. Why do they think they teach you to shoot guns and rig Claymores in boot camp for - training for the biathalon?

Isn't Steve Jobs the one who just bought a company that makes chips for missles??
Oh, and agreed to keep making them for the time being?
You cannot tell me he didn't know this before, during and after the purchase and you can't tell me he wasn't fully aware that after the purchase he would not be required to make these missile components for a time more.
He made a calculated decision.
If you felt this strongly about peace you should be picketing at this very moment and/or boycotting Apple products.
I know for a fact if this was Microsoft you guys would be beyond snarky and boycotting Redmond to no end.

Since when is Steve considered a pacifist. I've looked everywhere and there's no mention of siding with Cindy Sheehan, but there's mention of Buddhism, and some Buddhists have been peace activists. But how does this affect SJ in his "pacifist" status? Is the Think Different TV commercials being taken too seriously, thus jumping into conclusions?

I wonder if, in their attempt to "show what the army is all about" if they'll have some interactive experiences with death, dismemberment and general states of being maimed.

Wow, talk about cynical people..

I wonder if they'll have a fully operational slideshow room where you can go watch endless hours of powerpoint presentations?

Ooh, I wonder if they'll have a mock up of Walter Reed complete with screaming amputees, horribly burned soldiers, and Congressmen walking around repeatedly saying "thanks for your service."

Maybe they'll have a mock up of the enlisted dorms from WWII with the floor covered in shitty toilet water and rats rummaging through people's footlockers?

Maybe they'll have a room for mom and dad where they can pretend to be at home having a normal day when they get a knock at the door.

The centers will show people what Army is about?

So they'll just put a big sign in an empty room that says "If you admire total failure at diplomacy, we've got a job for you" ?
