	US Army exploiting busy college students. Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

I just messed up a market research questionaire for the US Army, and I ate their free donuts too. ****em'.

I was just sitting here studying for the quiz I have in an hour with a few other fellas. Some chicks came out of a meeting and offered us free donuts. I was the only one who took one. But they came back in a few minutes and started to put the pressure on us to fill out a survey. Of course they mentioned the donuts that I had already ate. The survey was market research for the Army. I answered all the questions wrong though. Hahahaahah!

Speaking of the US army exploiting college students, I went on a monumental bender last week; I had co much to drink that I was still wasted when I woke up. I discovered that in my drunken state the previous night, I had somehow switched on my laptop, but the true horror was that the page displaying in my browser was a US army recruitment website.

I have no ideas what possessed me to go on to such a website. I don't think the US army will think it's worth the expense to travel over to collect me. I've learned my lesson though. Needless to say, the internet and alcohol don't mix.

This got me to thinking - what proportion of the population joins the army because they're completely wasted and they just thought 'I dunno, it just seemed funny at the time to sign up...'?

I find it somewhat unethical that he wasn't told BEFORE they offered the donuts.

I agree Odin, but I doubt he was actually forced to do anything...

Yup -- are you new ??

Its also exploitation if you offer him a thousand dollar an hour job pushing a button on a machine if said button pushing creates products worth one thousand and one dollars an hour.

Wouldn't work. You have to go through a medical exam that even if you pass really drunk, you still have a blood alcohol level test. And if you are sober enough to pass that, then you are sober enough not to take the oath. And you also have to answer a lot of background info first.

It was actually a mind control experiment Kid. In 2 weeks the drugs in the donut will make you want to join the Army.

ACK!

In Kidicious's defense, this is pretty manipulative behavior. They offer food in the pretense of a gift when they were hoping for something in exchange.

Of course, you shouldn't lie and purposely answer questions wrong either.
