    I join you in your salute. (You can flame my liberal butt later, on this we are of kindred spirit.)

    The United States Air Force took my long haired, punk ass, off the streets of Fremont California, whipped my ass into a man, taught me a craft, sent me to high school to get a diploma, gave me a home, a job, and a good life. There is a job for nearly everyone in the service. Many of those jobs entail large risk.
    The only problem here is one of classification. This kid is a hero who wanted to serve his country. There were and are a lot of jobs for his skill sets. The recruiter needs to be taken to the woodshed.
