So, I'm on my way up to drop all of the points I just spent yesterday rigging for the Tom Joyner radio show here at Memorial Auditorium.

While there yesterday, I noticed that the good folks from the show were placing US Army mugs and t-shirts in all of the seats in the auditorium (2000+). This morning, they are broadcasting live with an audience in attendance. Presumably, each person attending will recieve the mug, shirt and some sort of recruiting pitch.

Now, my question, gentile readers, is this: how do you feel about this situation? With all of the flack lately regarding the armed forces attempts to recruit on college and high school campus', how do you all feel about the utilization of a nationally syndicated show as an entry point for recruitment while also serving as a charitable event? And how should we as a people attempt to encourage young men and women to serve something outside of themselves without politicizing it?
