Should the military be banned from visiting schools to promote the armed forces and recruit new soldiers, sailors and airmen?

Why should they be banned??  Serving in the military is an honorable and stable career choice.

No.  But I also think they shouldn't be the ONLY thing visiting schools, either.  I grew up in Clarksville, which is right next to Ft. Campbell, and if you were a boy that didn't have a scholarship or connection to some other field after high school, you either got a job in retail/construction or you went into the military.  :(  Same thing for many of the girls.  Military was the only thing actively visiting our schools....and nearly all the kids were either military brats, had relatives in the military, or were friends with one of the previously listed kids.  It's all they knew, really.
