Headline Reads: "Marine Corps Surpasses Recruiting Goal"


The Marine Corps far surpassed its recruiting goal last month and could eventually be more than a year ahead of schedule in its plan to grow the force to 202,000 members.

All military services met or exceeded their monthly recruiting goals in April, with the Marine Corps signing 142 percent of the number it was looking for, the Pentagon said.


So who do they show in the picture accompanying the article?

Some dork ass Army recruiter. [Ed.: Apologies to JeffS...sort of.] [Sheesh. And Cullen.] [But I'm NOT sayin' sorry to...well...you know who. I'm just not.] [Tough.] [Suck it up, Gator Girl.]

???? Man, how did that make it past the editors?

THS, if I were 15 years younger, 60 pounds lighter, I'd join today. Everyday I see something that makes me proud of the Marines.I know the rest of the forces do an amazing job, but I don't know, it's something about them. Pretty impressive.

That photo made it past the editors because the editors really don't give a damn about the military. All uniforms look the same to them.

Well, at least they used a picture of the U.S. military and not...gasp...Canada...
