"...setting up a booth where anyone can "drop by" and learn all the advantages, options and salaries gain by enlisting in the military..."

And this is, somehow, a bad thing? And I suppose it is MUCH better to spend two years working part-time at Micky Dee's, followed by two semesters at Alfred Packer JC, and a lifetime of toking to compensate for the guilt, envy and regret every time they hear real vets talking...
