  • Their recruitment ads are getting laughably desperate, too--all crazy CGI and sci-fi fantasies aimed at gullible COD nerds. They almost got me (poor kid straight out of high school, I was vulnerable) and haven't stopped chasing me ever since. It's been like 8 years and I still get recruitment material targeted at me, somehow--one of them even texted me like a year or two ago.

    Maybe if they paid better, took better care of veterans, and weren't part of a bloodthirsty genocide machine slaughtering innocent people, they wouldn't be having so much trouble.
