My school (in northwest Washington State) always had recruiting posters in the career center... just like they had posters for colleges and vocational schools and other stuff. Don't seem to recall ever seeing any in a classroom though, unless it was the JNROTC class.

Same with mine, JC. A career center is different, though. Students go there of their own free will--and I don't think anyone will argue the military is not a viable career (it certainly was to my father). A classroom, tho, is different--and IMHO, there is no room for either type of poster.

It's similar to the hue and cry over the US Army releasing their first-person shooter, the name of which escapes me just now. The Commie Pinko Junkies were screaming it was a recruiting tool, and should be banned--but hands offa DOOM III! Hypocrites.

"America's Army", I got a copy, haven't played it yet though. Victor I've tried to go to your site, but I can't get it to load, something wrong with my settings maybe? Or are you down right now?

I've been teaching my wife infantry tactics in "Ghost Recon" on the PS II. Not PC I know, but she's having fun. Besides she's becoming quite the little mankiller.

I'm so proud of her.

One thing I have noticed during my years in academe (both as a grad student and as a professor)--liberals tend to have no problems expressing their POVs, but they tend to get highly critical if conservatives do the same.
