sophiaserpentiaThere's been an increase in the number of ads presenting military service as a rugged adventure. You know, skulking through the forest, scaling a mountain, visiting exotic locales. They never, of course, mention the health hazards of being assigned to a combat zone. Or the hazards of trusting your life and health after your tour of duty is over to a Veterans Administration that is chronically under-budgeted.
If ads for things like cigarettes, alcohol, prescription meds, and possibly someday unhealthy foods, are required to mention the hidden health hazards these things can cause... why shouldn't we require military recruitment efforts to carry similar warnings?
