?Why not go? ? because there is very high chance of getting killed or captured then tortured. If their parents truly cared, they would do everything in their power to stop their child. True, it is ultimately their choice?.but here the fault lies in advertisement Every High School has Army recruiters who come in and dupes high school seniors. They say all the good things about joining and nothing bad?they are so nice and sympathetic. They call your house and talk to you about all the benefits. Once you sign that paper, they could give a rat?s ass about you. You call them and now all of the sudden they don?t have time for you. I know this from a personally Non-Nepali friend. ?Financial situation? ? Get full-time job and save up for college in two years?or be an RA?get a full time job while in school (plenty of nepalis to do). It doesn't affect me. I just don't want to hear anything bad happen on the headline news.
