Don't confuse the policies of the US government with the people who serve.
They deserve a much better deal than they have received.
Some are the problems are the result of governmental policies and others are the problems of the individuals.
Not everyone can blame the military for being stressed out, drug/alcohol addicted or just plain crazy...it happens across the board in the population as a whole; just some vets have some additonal problems relating to their experiences in the military.
Yes, recruiters are sales people and some are good and some are not.
As with any deal, you should always read the fine print; especially, if you ass is on the line. A significant portion of enlistees wash out of their training and are surprised that they still have to finish their enlistments in another job.....surprise! You are now a cook.
Some enlistee washouts feel cheated when the real problem is their failure to apply themselves to the job at hand due to their lifetime slacker habits or they don't get it, can't get it, got injured, or changed their mind. In the military, you have to do your job, do it right the first time, and be consistent in performance. If not, people die. That is why the military is so demanding on performance and precision.
However, there is always an exception to any situation, right?
