Army recrutiter tried to recruit my son from Arbys
ok, we're proud parents of a 19 yr old fast food worker. Today a man came into his store, asked his manager if he could talk to him (pointing our my son) and the manager sent my son over to him. The man said, "how would you like a job?" My son is excited. You know, somebody picking you out of your place of employment coz you're such an outstanding performer and all.

Then the guy gives him his card and encourages him to enlist. He offered him 10,000 bonus to sign on. My son took the card. I'm going to call the guy myself. I think that I might post his card on here when I get it just in case any one else has any questions for him.

I told my son that he wouldn't have to worry about getting killed in Iraw coz I would flat out kill him myself if he signed up for this Bush war.

I told him he should have told the guy "um let me see... Osama 50 million, me 10 thousands...hmmmm. Sounds like you want Osama more than me. Good luck with that"

1. this is the first time I have heard of a
recruiter out of uniform. They are getting hard up if that was the case.

3. Someone posted about some recruiters out of uniform at a mall
It sounded like there were several of them surrounding some kids
and demanding phone numbers and addresses.
The kids were intimidated, and only got out of the situation because one of them yelled.
The description made me wonder if we're not too far from impressment gangs.

5. Is there a local college with a young republicans club?
Or a cabal of Protest Warriors? Those would be good places to recruit.
