Be Kind To Recruiters

From Operation Yellow Elephant:

Here are some positive suggestions on how to encourage more real Americans to agree with you:

1. Please don't think of individual military recruiters as The Enemy. Every enlisted servicemember is a real American trying to do a job. The same goes for junior officers, in some respects all the way up to Lieutenant Colonel (O-5). They don't set policy; they carry it out.


Quite a few more items are on the list but pay particular attention to number one. The military has a good many liberals and moderates in it. (Do some cursory research on the peace movement in the military during Vietnam and remember that a good many of those people's kids are who are now in the military.)
