Current ways of recruitment

Promising working class youths a free education for enlisting in the military may seem like a good way to get more young, willing people to volunteer to be in the army. In reality, this means of acquiring volunteers is a sad form of unethical bribery. By offerring a free education to youths in exchange for working in the military, automatically the lower-middle class youth are being targeted. Those young kids who don't have enough money to go to college might enroll in the military as a last resort, not as something that they are passionate about. As a result, some of the recruits will be people there just for the money, but not interested in actually contributing to the military and fighting for our country. Sometimes students enroll, not actually expecting to be deployed and not mentally or physically ready to be put into a lot of the situations out there. Jessica Lynch, about enrolling in the military, naively said "Yeah, you know that would be cool if I could have a job plus go to school at the same time. Yeah, that would be cool" (Interview with Time) The army will become solely made up of kids looking for money, but not really willing to lay his life on the line for his country. This makes our forces weaker. Unfortunately, besides this sad bribery there seems to be very few ways to promote the army and recruit kids.
When the army promotes and comercializes the experience as being a strengthening opportunity to build leadership skills, mentioning the opportunities  for free education and world travel. The commercials make the army look so beautiful, glorifying it with pictures of recruits looking determined while crawling through a challenging ropes course. You can almost smell the satisfaction and pride that would wash over you as you pulled yourself over that last rope wall. You picture yourself earning a free education and free world travel while doing this duty for your country, and it seems like a perfect idea. All that's left to do is sign up. Unfortunately, the military has been grossely misportrayed to you, and it is not so much fun after all. "Lynch had enlisted hoping to be able to earn a college degree after serving her country. (She had hopes of becoming a kindergarten teacher.) Her truck was part of a supply column that was attacked after it missed a detour..."(Jessica Lynch: The Interview.)
