i think the military should be treated just like any other business, if they have a career day at the high school,,,, then yes, allow them to have a booth,,,,,,, but nothing more then that,,,,, |

I see no reason to NOT allow them in. Joining the military is a educational/career option. To not allow them in makes a mockery of free choice. |

Hell yeah let them in !!! Its their job to recruit, and kids coming out of highschool need a place to go when they get out... what better place than the military? |

why not, they are looking out for the military, but provide jobs for those who are not going to college or want to get money to pay for college. |

I could care less, you must remember, many students are going to join the military whether a recruter is there or not.
I personally think that the recruters should only be there if they are honest, I know many people who have been promised things by the recruter, without the recruter telling them the special details of what they need to do to get it. |

As someone against the war, I am not against recruiters going anywhere that has to do with the government - it is supposed to be a FREE country - or so I was told when I was at the citizenship ceremony.
Private schools should have their own choice since the govt' is running their show. |

as long as they are getting funds from the goverment and state then recruiters should be allowed. |

Why would anyone have any objections to the military being there? No one is going to twist your arm to join. |

If the school accepts federal funding, they should be required to allow them.
If they don't accept thefedral funding, they should allow them anyway, let the students decide if they want to talk with them. The students are capable of making their own decisions about the military, they dont need some peace lovin' hippie making decisions for them. |

I know I won't get best answer....
To even think of not allowing them is utterly disgracing.
EDIT:
I would love to be able to see who gave me the thumbs down and thinks that our military has no right to a free voice and share the same ideology and freedom that is given to them by the first amendment to give me a thumbs down. |

I disagree completely. The time for our youth to start planning their future is in high school, not college. To deny the military recruiters access to the high schools is to deny them the chance to enlist deserving, motivated people and provide those that seek a career in our military the opportunity they are looking for. It also denies the youth of our nation a chance to examine every opportunity for improving their lives and doing something that will make a difference in both their lives and the country. |

They should allow the recruiters in. This is a land of equal opportunity is it not? Why allow a company that builds missles to recruit, or a private college that trains future officers to recruit, but not the military? Isn't that discrimination? |

Absolutely they should be allowed in. The military is the only career choice that some kids have after graduation, and can provide them with a better lifestyle than flipping burgers. Not everyone has the grades or the $ to go to college. |

Military should always be allowed in high schools, because they are thousands of young Americans that haven't decided about their futures yet and this is another viable option. Also the Recruiters serve as role models to young people. And last but not least, for those students who are average to above average academically and of course can't get aid or grants, and don't stand out enough for scholarships, the military offers several thousands of dollars for higher education, regardless of your gpa, ethnic background, race or parents income. |

Recruiters aren't seducing high schoolers!... The only classrooms they spoke in at my high school were JROTC classrooms. Other than that they walked around at lunch time and you were free to talk to them if you wanted to. I think it is important to let kids know all of their options including the military, colleges come to visit high schools more than the military. But imagine a kid who doesn't want to go to college, or can't afford it but doesn't have scholarship grades... A high school graduate now has two options get a job and try hard to advance there compete with all the college grads and those with military training or both, or to join the military... At least in the military they will have to opportunity to do more than work for minimum wage and can have some amount of discipline and pride for what that are doing! People don't sign up for the military that same time the recruiter is there most of them are 17 and have to go home and talk to their parents about it before making any decisions... they have time to talk to people and decide whats right for them. I don't think it is fair to high school students to not let them see all of their options... we need people in the military and were not going to be able to have them if everyone just goes straight to college then into the working force, and as important as education is most people are not going to go to college... LET HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS HAVE OPTIONS! |

Absolutely not! They have the right-no-the responsibility to be there. Its a free country. People can decide for themselves when given the options. |

Hell yeah they should. The vast majority of our military is comprised of younger people who enlisted after high school.
You want to be a recruiter hating hippie, or do you want to be speaking a different language within the next 15 years? |

No, they should allow recruiters in whenever there's a job fair at the school...but they should also ensure that the students and their parents are aware that they can opt out of the law that says schools are supposed to give the names, addresses and phone numbers of students to recruiters if they don't want recruiters contacting their own kids. |

I think they should let them in as long as it is monitored so that they can't spread their BS lies to the kids. The military is great for some people, but the recruiters are the biggest liars I have ever seen. They know if they tell the truth they won't get near as many recruits so they just lie lie lie. This country has a lot of enemies and needs a good military and so the recruiters do have an important job and keeping them out of schools just makes their jobs so much harder. I just don't like how they lie and glorify bad jobs just to get people to sign up. |

everybody thiks diferent...So to me I won't like someone try to brain wash my son on get to the military and get free college etc. I have a son and he knows better that if he wants to go in the service etc. He most finish his college before he does that and that sign in is not the best way for him to go to college that myself as a mother will pay for....All depends and how people think...I am glad my sons knows that and he is only 13 first get his school done and then he decides if he will like to be in the military or anything us...He dream to become a lawyer so I am for it...I won't like somebody come and tell him what tod or brain wash him...Thats why I am his mother and first what is first.... |

I dont think they should...They should keep packets in guidence offices for info, but other then that..I dont think the recruiters should visit schools...Let high schoolers decide on their own to join..my husband said the army recruiter was there once a month and his friends would tell him they arent interested, but he kept on them and eventually signed up...that isnt right to me. |

Honestly, no. I don't think they should. They seduce a lot of high schoolers with promises of glory and honor, and let's face it. Freshmen are gullible. We all know it, because at some point we've all dunked one into a toilet, right? (j/k... I never did that).
I don't think they should be allowed in HS, because they don't promote any other career paths in high school that bluntly. They get the fittest, most attractive people they can to get all spiffy in their uniforms and go convince people to join them. They look so professional, so wonderful and shapely and clean and respectable, that people forget that it's the military they're joining.
Then again, you can't force somebody to join. And there's no way we'll be able to get recruiters out of the HSs until this war's over. Bush is so desperate they're sending recruiters to prisons now, you know... Love them ex-cons. =P |

Yes I agree with that statement. Why should our children be subjected to the BS that recruiters are telling students. Promising free college and money to students.If they go NOW odds say that 1/4 of them wouldnt live to see the college or money, let alone have the limbs to utilize anything that they do learn. Im sorry, most kids these days play in a AI world, Internet, games, etc. Let the kids be kids and let them make their own choices when they turn 18. The legal age of an ADULT. Not 16 and impressionable. We experience alot of changes from 16 to 18 and its a tragedy to have to do something that you signed when you were 16 because you thought was cool. Let the kids be kids. |
