I'd like to sum up the topic about the fraudulent tactics of US military recruiters with a quote:

To quote you: Oh my god, you're joking right?

That is a singularly insulting and ridiculous quote. Unless of course you are meaning it as Military Justice being every bit as good as normal justice, and in fact the foundation of a lot of talented and singular judges (or lawyers). I doubt you are.

I could easily name three trumpeters who were hailed as great, who had their foundation in military band music. And that's just trumpeters. (well, cornet players, too)

I remember one army chef that was excellent.
His name eludes me. :lol:

Well, as usual, Gilder is quoting his sources! :lol: I do think Groucho was thinking about the kind of gungho music coming out of a certain European country at the time of the quote....
