Why don't you just nicely tell them you aren't interested... Oh wait, thats too hard.
I didn't flame anyone. The people who did weren't flaming other members they were flaming institutions and lands.
Eevryone doesn't believe the same way, there are some who would call you a baby killer and a supporter of a facist regime, there are others that would call you a hero. I will do neither because I came to this thread to see what people would say to army recruiters. I didn't come to see you and silven flame each other.

Is there really guys dressed up in military suits that come up to you and ask you to join? Exactly like in fahrenheit 911? That seems crazy to me, there's no such thing here in france. I'd get really mad if some dumb fool came up to me to ask me if i want to join. Especially if it happens alot.

SIlven, there are many other positions in the military than infantry and Iraq. Hundreds more... And do you think we want to be in Iraq? Hell no. Infact, most militants are against Bush and anything he has done in office. To us, it's not about oil, it's not about money. Not at all. You have it all wrong man. I completely agree with you disagreeing with the war. That is OK. But it's another thing to disagree with the teenagers and young men who fight the war that was placed upon them. If anything they need support, and thanks. These people don't want to slaughter Iraqis and get their grubby Texan hands on oil, they want nothing but the well being of you, and every other citizen in the United States. Its truly sad you view things the way you do.

they don't approach me at school, but if they did.....the skies will cry. i knwo alot of people who go to the army for finacial reasons, those who follow in family footsteps, and those who like war (yes, war mongers).....it doesn't matter your reason - you're still in THEIR army.

yes. they'll come out of nowhere. they'll visit you in school. they'll call you at home.
see, we have this thing called the military-industrial complex & it needs young minds to be trained to suspend rational thought and kill on command.

i would, strike up a long conversation with them, give them a friends name, and say your really interested, then give your friends number, and say to call me in about a week.
or, pretend to be intersted, and then be like "ah, man, sorry but my 3 brothers died in baghdad, and i'm the only 1 left, you wouldnt want another saving private ryan on your hands would ya? that was such a sad movie.... tom hanks is my favorite"
or, scratch your eye with your middle finger as you walk by with nothing.
or the gentler approach, as you continue walking, pass them right up and just say 'flat feet'

I don't understand how people can do the whole "I support the troops but I'm against the war" thing.
Anyone stupid enough to enlist in the military and then complain that they are fighting a war they don't want to fight deserves no respect. If you enlist in an instituion that is primarily designed to kill people as effectively as possible, and has a history of controversial conflict, what right do you have to "support, and thanks" by your peers? Just because you believe that you're somehow acting in the interests of your country even though you're engaged in a conflict you may not even support, you somehow expect to be thanked ? Even though you're saying the soldiers don't want to fight in Iraq? To me, fighting in a conflict you don't believe in is abhorrent. Surely a soldier fighting in Iraq who believed he was fighting a just cause would deserve huge amounts of respect more than a soldier who disagreed with the war but fought anyway, out of some mis-placed sense of loyalty?

I ask them if they're still giving out free acid for testing on troops.
heh, seriously you just have to be blunt, dont get into a conversation.. say "I'm not interrested, I have to go". and leave it at that.. hang up the phone or keep walking.
