As far as I know from personal experience and talking to other vets, particularly since 9/11, recruiters promise all kinds of benefits and promise young people that they won’t have to go to war at all. That’s what Casey’s recruiter told him in 2000. Tell your mom, even if there is a war, you won’t see combat, because you are such a high-value recruit. Casey was killed in combat a few days after arriving in Iraq.
