Speaking of which.... I saw an hour-long infomercial for the armed forces the other night. It didnt mention killing people once, or possibly getting maimed, scarred emotionally for life, or even possibly killed. Actually it seemed like the entire commercial avoided the topic of war altogether. Gotta love only getting half the story. If that infomericial were an advertisement for a product, I would deem it misleading and a fraud.

Who said anything about advertising products in schools? Speaking of which.... I saw an hour-long infomercial for the armed forces the other night. It didnt mention killing people once, or possibly getting maimed, scarred emotionally for life, or even possibly killed.

Anyone that has done any research at all knows military recruiters constantly spew half truths, its no surprise. You also make it sound like infomercial's tell the complete truth and nothing but the truth. Even regular advertisments rarley tell the truth about things, much less an infomercial. My point was everyone wants to get what ever it is they are selling out to the people, and I dont blame it.

How could it of have been prevented? Felix [/QUOTE] Justified, but we didn't finish the job so end up with more wars. It could have been prevented by not supporting him 20 years ago. When we go to war we have failed. So every time we go to war we are failures to not find alternative routes with patience and diplomacy. [ 09-23-2003, 11:09 AM: Message edited by: pritchke ] |
