    I'm not sure you can _legally_ exclude military recruiters from recruiting on campus as long as you allow others (educational institutions, employers) to do so.

    As for whether joining the military is ever the right decision, there are some people where it is the right decision. #sonOne, for example, came back with training and experience he never could have obtained with the available resources. I disagreed vehemently with his decision and it cost us six years of silence. But it turned out that I was wrong, and I admit it.

    I admit that they seek more infantry cannon fodder than avionics engineers, and most such folks return home after their enlistment having no marketable skills, often nothing saved in the military college fund, and having undertaken life/health risk of being sent into a war. So it does not benefit every soldier directly. But is that the only criterion? Don't we also care about getting people to benefit their families and society in general? How would we even know in advance which people would benefit?
